Yin Gou Mei Cha (silver Fish Hook Eyebrow)

mei cha (eyebrow tea) is the most popular type of green tea in china because of its rich taste. most mei cha is machine cut to create even shapes for grading but often leads to a bitter heavy flavor. our yin gou mei cha is picked during early spring without machine cutting thus the processed tea is longer than normal and resemble fish hooks. this hand picked tea results in a robust flavor without bitterness. once brewed noticed the beautiful jade tea color and fresh aroma.

Jasmine Pearls Scented Tea

like our silver dragon jasmine pearl, this tea comes from certified organic white tea bushes but is processed later resulting in a stronger flavor and lingering fragrance. while enjoying the rich aroma, notice the beautiful leaves as the pearls gently unfurl. this is our most popular 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.
