Featured Items
Sweet citrus and notes of almond harmonize perfectly with the delicate-yet-earthy white tea leaves and a hint of cinnamon.
Stylish and functional, this modern ceramic teapot has a pleasing satin-finish and a stainless-steel handle. Abundant super-fine holes in the stainless-steel infuser basket assure a thorough steep without particulates.
Tie Guan Yin is sweet and thick with a hint of orchid aftertaste. The look of this brew is a subtle yellowish-green, and the first steeping unfurls the rolled tea leaf to reveal large, juicy green leaves. It tastes much like its aroma: Bright and incredibly fresh, with sweet, mellow grassy undertones. This oolong holds up to a surprising number of re-steepings, rewarding the palette with various incarnations of sweet, smooth, tangy, and lively flavors.
A new, classic Assam blend from multiple estate teas with a traditional leaf style. Produced during June this tea embodies all the flavor and strength you expect from a top Assam estate. This is a great breakfast tea that is best drunk with milk or even cream.
Note: This tea is no longer Golden Assam, as there are no golden tips in this tea blend.
Experience the timeless and sophisticated flavors of this Earl Grey as the rose petals, lavender, and rosemary create a unique and delightful taste. Perfect for a cozy afternoon with friends or a peaceful moment of solitude, Vintage Earl Grey will bring a sense of warmth and comfort to your cup. Enjoy the subtle notes of citrus and floral, and let the aroma of this exquisite blend transport you to a place of relaxation and joy.
Izu Matcha is a fabulous example of a high quality Japanese Matcha grown in the Izu peninsula, not far from Tokyo. The tea has a pale emerald green color and when consumed on its own, frothed up with a whisk, has an almost jammy-smoothness belied by a somewhat sweetly astringent cup. The best thing to do with your matcha is experiment.
Blood Orange Rooibos is our most popular herbal blend. It has many levels of flavor ranging from the citrus orange with a light vanilla undertone, to the malty rich rooibos base.
This is the only rooibos blend that does NOT go well with cream.
A bold-leaf Yunnan varietal with smooth cocoa notes and hints of plum and spice. The dry leaves are tightly rolled into a spiral snail shape, dark in color, with golden tip accents. Named for the twisted shape of the finished leaves - fancifully reminiscent of snail shells. The brew is moderately hearty in a longer infusion or can be reinfused about three times with briefer steeps.
Jasmine Nights is a lovely blended green tea with a hint of mint and the light aroma and aftertaste of Jasmine and Cardamom. It is light, energetic, delicate-bodied tea, perfect for cool summer nights. It is an especially good green tea for those that dislike the grassy flavor of more pure greens. And because it is a blend, it is also more forgiving during the brewing process than pure green teas.
