We are using our highest quality, ceremonial-grade Royal Matcha for this particular Matcha drink. You don't even need to add any sugar to be able to enjoy this drink.

So what makes our Matcha drinks special?

Each Matcha drink is carefully prepared in a special Matcha bowl the way it should be made in Japan. We use only organic quality, 100% pure Matcha imported from Shizuoka, Japan; we never prepare ahead of time and hand-whisk each Matcha with bamboo, one Matcha drink at a time. Bamboo is integral to the process: it prevents green tea from oxidation while being whisked.

You can't get the same results using a metal or stainless steel whisk. Metal can oxidize the freshness of the green tea, which could add hints of astringency and bitterness. The metal whisk also doesn't have enough prongs to properly aerate the Matcha drink. 

Each of these handmade whisks has 100 prongs which help aerate the Matcha to a frothy perfection and create a much smoother, sweeter, creamier sip as a result. 

Not all jasmine pearls made the same. Each pearl in our jasmine pearls is carefully selected and rolled by hand, one by one. Jasmine flowers then added into the jasmine pearls at night and let the flower bloom and release its a natural relaxing aroma. Every morning the flowers then removed. This process is then repeated over a week. 

Our jasmine pearls can be rebrewed over 6 to 8 different times. 

This is our version of ceremonial-grade Matcha. Very smooth, with no bitter after taste. Slightly vegetal with a hint of nuttiness. This Matcha is especially high in antioxidants and amino acids. This Matcha is perfect to have straight without needing to add any sugar or cream.

One of China's most famous green tea. Bi Luo Chun usually tightly rolled into a spiral, like a snail's shell. If the spiral shape rolled is not tight and consistent, then you know it's not a high-quality Bi Luo Chun. Bi Luo Chun is very tender and covered with white tips. This green tea is also one of the very few teas that only available at our shop right around after springtime picking.  

This Bi Luo Chun is a high mountain tea from Zhenghe Province, more commonly known for its white tea. It consists of only the finest silver tips of the tea leaves picked around the end of the month of April.

This year Bi Luo Chun arrive much earlier than usual. Usually, the harvesting time is around April, but the weather got warmer sooner this year. The sooner pick resulting in a much sweeter aftertaste. This is the one green tea you don't want to miss this year!

We are using our cafe-grade Imperial Matcha for this particular Matcha drink. Cafe-grade is better than the culinary grade Matcha but not as good as our ceremonial-grade Royal Matcha.

Everyone has their own way of making their Matcha drinks, but generally, you use either a shaker or a blender to satisfy your Matcha cravings. But if you are trying to make a nice, warm and frothy Matcha latte, especially without adding any cream or milk, using a proper Matcha whisk is the only way to do it right.

This whisk has one hundred prongs and is 100% handmade from natural materials. The more prongs, the easier to achieve the divine creaminess you find at traditional Matcha houses in Japan.

There's an often-told story behind the unappetizing name. They say a famous and successful tea farmer got so fed up with everyone asking about the secret to his masterpiece oolong that he started to make a joke, telling everyone that the secret to his tea was the duck droppings he used as fertilizer for his plants.

This Oolong is baked using charcoal twice. The tea is first baked using an oven with a lower temperature (90c) for about 8 hours to remove the water content in the tea leaves. Rest for 3 weeks, and then baked using charcoal for 18 hours with 120c temperature. This tea will taste better when it has been aged for at least 4 to 6 months.

It's nutty and addicting like a toasted peanut. It's floral, but not overwhelmingly floral, just the perfect amount of floral notes. It's comforting and makes you want to just relax and forget about all the problems going on in the world.

Alternate Name: Ya Shi Xiang

Harvest: Spring 2020 

Elevation: 1200m

Notes: Floral, Toasted Peanuts, Comforting, 

 One of Leo's favorite teas, and one of the most popular teas in the store!

If you're looking for an excellent example of high mountain tea that is more than just a famous name, this is the tea for you.

We chose this 2020 harvest because it's one of the teamaker's most favorite batches in recent years. It's a myth that high mountain oolong can't be aged over time. If made well, they can age just as well as any pu-erh or dark oolong. 

This tea is all about texture. Super rich, buttery, and almost luxurious, a hallmark of a good high mountain tea. The flavor is sweet and fresh, without being overly floral or green. The aftertaste is even sweeter.

Alishan is one of the most iconic high mountain regions in Taiwan, but not all Alishan oolongs are created equal. Because Alishan is so famous, there's a big range of quality on the market.

Our Alishan is made by one of the region's most famous teamasters, with leaves picked in a natural garden. She has been working with the same leaves for more than 20 years, and knows how to bring out the best in every harvest. No pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used for the tea which really captures the essence of the high mountain environment. We're big fans! 

Origin: Alishan, Taiwan

Harvest: Spring 2020

Notes: creamy, buttery, sweet

During a gongfu tea ceremony, it is important to use a fairness cup to make sure that everyone on the table get the same flavor of the tea. Without using a fairness cup, the first person will get a weaker flavor tea and the last person on the table will get the strongest flavor tea. 

Capacity: 300ml

We don't normally think of Iron Goddess Oolong comes from Indonesia. Since Indonesia has a lot of active volcanoes, the soil around the area where this tea is grown has a lot of minerals. The Taiwanese origin tea maker, bake this mineral-rich tea leaf by using charcoal to give a deep, bold dark chocolate aroma. Brew this tea with high temperature (205 Fahrenheit) to bring out the intensity of peppery and smokey cinnamon.

The really cool thing about this tea, no matter how long you brew this tea, this tea will never get bitter. In fact, if you brew this tea for 10 minutes, the strong flavor is reminiscent of a bold and smooth tasting coffee. Add a dash of cream and ice, you can easily fool anyone that you are drinking an iced coffee!

Origin: Sumatra, Indonesia

Notes: Bold, Caramel, Chocolate, Coffee
