Featuring...

Aged Mandarin Peel Aged White Tea (Orange)

Naturally sweet, and aged to subtle perfection - this coin shows off a popular flavor from TCM herbal concoctions - Chén Pí 陈皮!

Sun-dried, aged mandarin peel is prized for aiding sore throats and digestion - but also in Cantonese soups simply for its aroma, complexity & uniquely elegant sugar built by time - all balanced with the similarly aged, mellowing earthen tones of low-caffeine white tea.

Together, they offer a easy to digest, easy drinking token of citrusy sugar you can enjoy without the guilt. A quaint evening treat, that doubles as a mild digestive & bloating aid!

Big Red Robe Oolong (Red)

AKA Da Hong Pao, the soothingly smoky poster-child of Wuyi - the "King of Rock Teas". Born in mineral rich, rocky cliffsides, and fabled to have cured the grave illness of a Ming Emperor's mother, it's famous for representing the depth of dark roasted & high oxidation oolongs. Yields an earthen brew with a lasting minerality - satisfyingly full-bodied and hearty.

Jasmine White (Green)

China's classic combo of fresh tea and delicate night jasmine. While normally expressed with green tea, this particular duet allows the Guangxi flora to take a more central stage, with fresh white tea providing smooth, muted background.

Old Grove Yunnan Black (Burgundy)

Made from tea trees hundreds of years old, this tea cake offers a Chinese counterpart to India's light & elegant Darjeeling. Wooden in base, with white floral overtones, and with a body akin to a light oolong as opposed to thick, fuller Assam. A quintessential hongcha that shows off the character of China's black tea styles.

Osmanthus Flower White Tea (Yellow)

Doubling down on our floral motifs, this white tea showcases a popular alternative to jasmine - osmanthus flowers!

More brighter, punchy and apricot than our aged mandarin peel - osmanthus is a subtropical East Asian flower that -- alongside white tea providing subtle, healthy & humble foundation - yields a golden delicacy of aromatic, soft stonefruit sugar. Bright, breezier, and overall dreamy. An understated delicacy to complete our Spring set.
