Taishan Fo Mei (buddha's Eyebrow)

mei (eyebrow) style tea, named after the dried leaves shape, is traditionally the most popular everyday tea in china. our certified organic tea grows on tai mountain near a local buddhist temple, hence the name taishan fo mei. the local monks drink this tea daily for its robust taste and fresh aroma.

Jun Shan Yin Zhen (silver Needle)

the most famous yellow tea in china. this tribute tea grows on a small island (jun shan) within dong ting lake in hunan province. the climate and soil create a special sweet fruit aroma and lightly sugarcane taste. the small growing area and skill required to make this traditional tea results in only a small quantity produced yearly

Yin Zhu Silver Dragon Pearls Scented Tea

in the cold spring, fresh, young buds from certified organic white tea bushes are harvested and then hand-rolled into tight pearls to make this tea. the dried 'pearls' are then laid down with heaps of night-flowering jasmine flowers which are discarded when morning arrives. early spring white tea buds create this refreshing tea which is sweeter and milder than other jasmine tea.

Lapsang Bohea Black Tea

bohea (boo-he) is the worlds first black tea created purely by the innovative tea farmers in the small tong mu village in southeastern china. this certified organic tea comes directly from the original lapsang farm in the wu yi mountains. this tea is made from young tea buds and fresh leaves creating a deep amber liquor and clean, sweet flavor known as longan, the trademark of bohea tea.

Da Ye Xiao Qing Tuo (big Leaf Mini Green Tuo Cha)

this tea was harvested in the spring from the meng hai tea tree. the maocha is sorted and the dry leaves are steamed. the leaves are then wrapped in small, cone-shaped cotton fabric bags and compressed into tuochas. the fabric is removed and the tuochas are left to dry. once they are dry, the producer wraps each tuocha in paper. because they used 3rd to 4th grade tea for the maocha instead of powder, you can see the leaves clearly in the dry tuocha.
