Featuring...

Big Red Robe Oolong (Red) | 208*F | 3 minutes 

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.

Ya Shi Xiang AKA "Duckshit Fragrance" Oolong (Blue) | 200-212*F | 3 minutes

A famously floral, honey-like Phoenix Mountain oolong - with an equally infamous pseudonym meant to deter thieves from stealing this rare tea! Grown from a single-bush varietal - perfect for explorers of rare or eclectic brews

Osmanthus Longjing (Yellow) 180*F | 3 minutes

Golden, peachy subtropical Chinese flowers meet one of the country's most famous green tea - the gentle Dragonwell. Yields a wonderfully floral, nuanced golden-green liquor for a calm afternoon.

Yunnan Rose Black (Pink) | 200-212*F | 3 minutes 

A subtly sweet, woodland bouquet of Yunnan rose petals and earthen black tea. Soft, traditional, and much more understated than English Breakfast or our Moonlit Lychee Rose. Gets extra kudos for the best packaging.

Aged Mandarin White (Orange) | 180*F | 4-6+ minutes 

Aged Fujian white tea & aged tangerine - slowly matured to a delicate citrus perfection. Great for the patient thinker or those who love the medicinal boons of aged tea & mandarin peel.

This one grew on us! We normally prefer bold, fast-brewing teas like Red Robe. But this little guy is worth the wait too :)
