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!

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

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!

Notes: Bold, Caramel, Chocolate, Coffee

First invented in 2005, Jin Jun Mei was originally created as a close alternative for Chinese who couldn't appreciate the flavor of the robust smoked Lapsang Souchong black tea that Westerners tend to enjoy. Jin Jun Mei debuted the same year as the unsmoked version of Lapsang Souchong. The main difference between them is that Jin Jun Mei is made exclusively of the buds, whereas unsmoked Lapsang Souchong uses two leaves to one bud.

The translation of this tea into English may be confusing - "Golden Steed Eyebrow" - but there's nothing confusing about the taste! Deep chocolate notes lead to a full-bodied tea that's almost thick like honey, leaving a sweet aftertaste.

Mild in flavor, compared to most black teas from India.

Starting off as a "poor man" tea, Genmaicha has now become one of the most popular Japanese green tea. 

You can easily make Genmaicha yourself by roasting brown rice in a pan over medium-high heat and mix them with your favorite green tea. It is surprising that no other country has done the same thing with their leftover green tea.

Each year, our tea farmers take their time to mix organic green tea from multiple harvests to blend in with organic popped brown rice. As a result, you get one of the most complex green tea. Toasty and nutty from the rice, sweet and umami from the earlier harvest, body and fulfilling after taste from the later harvest. 

Notes: Savory, Sweet, Nutty, Roasty

These particular Jasmine Pearls are from a Da Bai cultivar which is normally used for making traditional white tea like Silver Needle (bái háo yín zhēn/白毫银针) or White Peony (bái mǔdān /白牡丹). In order to harvest them, the weather conditions must be perfect and must only be plucked during early springtime. 

After the base tea has been processed, it must be kept cool until summertime when the jasmine flower blossoms. This jasmine pearls' flavor is delicate and not overpowering. The aroma is relaxing and calming. Try infusing this tea at a lower temperature (190 Fahrenheit) to bring out more sweetness.
