Origin: China

Ingredients: Certified Organic Oolong Tea 

Serving suggestion: Wash/rinse 1 tablespoon of tea leaves with 80-degree water. Then steep the same leaves in 80-degree water for up to 2 minutes. (This helps release the flavours and give you a rich mouthful of Tieguanyin)

Lapsang Souchong: Traditionally, Lapsang Souchong is grown in the Fujian province of China. The ‘Souchong’ refers to the fourth and fifth leaves of the plant, which are coarser and less aromatic than the pekoe buds. The tea is double-smoked over natural local pinewood embers that leave a clean, smokey/woody flavour.

​

Green Teas

 

Chinese Chun Mee Green Tea - Sometimes known as ‘Precious Eyebrows Tea’, this tea is an unfermented green tea, originally grown in Jiangxi province, but these days you can find it all over China. The flavour is a little sharper than other green teas: bright, toasty and slightly tangy, with a lingering sweetness to round out an even profile. Like all green tea, Chun Mee is packed with anti-ageing properties, antioxidants and cancer-fighting polyphenols. Being unfermented, those vitamins stay locked inside the leaf. It’s the perfect after-dinner palate cleanser.

Origin: China

Serving Suggestion: Brew 1-2 teaspoons in 90-95-degree water for 2 minutes. The tea should be a beautiful, clear yellow.

Some green teas can be bitter and sharp, but Genmaicha tea is mellow and warm, stacked with healing antioxidants like carotenoids and ascorbic acid. It’s as close as tea gets to a big bowl of chicken soup. Easy on the tummy, soothing on the soul.

Origin: Japan

Ingredients: Certified Organic Green Tea & Roasted Brown Rice

Serving Suggestion: Brew 1-2 teaspoons in 75-80-degree water and steep until the brew turns a sunshine yellow colour.

 

Gyokuro - Organic cultivation of Gyokuro in Japan is relatively rare and as such this tea is regarded as extremely precious and special.

Origin: Japan

Ingredients: Certified Organic Gyokuro Green Tea

Sencha Green Tea - This tea is the most popular tea in Japan. In general, Sencha is green-tinged with yellow, with a fresh herbal or grassy flavour with a well-balanced combination of aroma, umami and bitterness, providing you with a feeling of luxury that increases with the grade of green tea.

Origin: Japan

Ingredients: Japanese Sencha Green Tea

Serving Suggestion: Brew 1 teaspoon in 70-80 degree water and let steep for 1 minute. For best flavour results, use a Japanese Kyusu teapot.

​

Silver Needle White Tea (Fujian) - Also known as Baihao Yinzhen, this tea is widely regarded as the finest white tea in the world. It is made from the unopened, young silver buds of Camelia Sinesis, and is only harvested for two days each year. The Chinese call this the 'Imperial Harvest'. Silver Needle Tea has a very distinctive aroma, like freshly cut hay. It's mellow, sweet and delicate, similar to white peony tea, with a pale yellow liquor that glitters in the sunlight.

Origin: China

Ingredients: Premium White Tea (Baihao Yinzhen)

Serving Suggestion: Brew 2-3 teaspoons in 75-85-degree water and let steep for 5 minutes.

​

White Peony Tea - Also known as Pai Mu Tan, this tea is one of China's most famous natural teas (it's technically the second finest white tea, after Silver Needles) but it isn't simple to grow. Each silvery bud is plucked from the Da Bai or Narcissus tea bush and once the tiny leaves are beginning to open, you've got just 48 hours to pick the crop. Harvest too late and you lose that subtle elegance, the light floral touch that makes White Peony tea so renowned. It's a fruity, refreshing tea, although some bushes do produce a darker, nuttier yield. High levels of antioxidants and polyphenols make White Peony a real immune booster.

Origin: China

Ingredients: Certified Organic White Peony Tea (Pai Mu Tan)

Serving Suggestion: Brew 1-2 teaspoons in 75-80-degree water and let steep for 3 minutes. No milk or sweetener is required.
