Green and Yellow Tea


Organic
$17.50
Gen Mai Matcha. Sweet, nutty, and fresh. The addition of matcha makes it an antioxidant powerhouse and brings a pep to your step. Full leaves and a beautiful emerald green liquor which lacks bitterness. Wonderful way to start the day.
Organic Yellow Tea
$18.25
Huo Shan Huang Ya. From Anhui Province, China. A very rare hand-crafted tea. The "yellow" refers to pale, straw-colored liquor. Its sword-shaped leaves are made from downy buds with 1 or 2 leaves. The aroma is clean, like fresh hay. Floral notes lingering sweetness at the finish make this a tea you must include in your tea stash.
China Green Organic
$19.25
Jade Cloud. A delicious every day green tea with beautiful deep dark twisted leaves that yields a crisp, clean liquor. Subtle vegetal flavor and soft sweet finish.
Jasmine Dragon Pearls
$23.50-76.00
The cream of the crop. These mighty pearls are hand-rolled and then left to rest as jasmine flowers are placed over top so the essence of this delicate flower permeates the tea. Steep in a glass pot or cup to watch the "agony of the leaf" as it unfurls in front of your eyes. Many steeps bring you happiness. A classic no one should miss.
Pouchong
$21.25-98.25
Jasmine Yin Hao. Technically a Pouchong (not quite green tea and not quiet oolong), the leaves are scented many times with delicate jasmine flowers for no less than 5 nights?making for richly perfumed, highly floral, flavorful tea with character and depth. Our most favorite Jasmine tea. Ever.
Makiki
$12.00-22.00
Its intense aromatherapy transports us back to a little neighborhood in Honolulu living next to a house of monks that grew fruit trees. Time was well spent as we sat sipping tropical green iced tea. A pacific delight with light liquor, soft end notes of fruit, and a lingering finish. Quite nice over ice.
Moroccan Mint
$15.25-49.50
This delightful, refreshing tea is a gift from the Arab World and is not only served at mealtime but throughout the day. The combination of heat from the gunpowder and cool from the mint leaves creates an epicurean treat for your taste buds. Traditionally, made with lots and lots and lots of sugar, we prefer to drink this without embellishments since the mint leaves leave a lingering sweetness on the palate. A beauty brewed hot but a stratospheric iced tea. We sell gallons of this brew all summer long at our local farmers markets.
Sencha Asanoka
27.50
1 of the best Sencha green teas, we have ever had. Asaoka is a tea not often sold out of Japan and is a single varietal. If you had to choose one Japanese green tea to try it should be this one.

$Matcha


Matcha Ceremonial Grade
40.00
Thick.

$Oolong Tea


Organic Jade Oolong
$18.25
Our very first tea hunting trip to Taiwan included making this gem. Hours spent in a garden high above the clouds picking, withering and processing in a tea factory for around 23 hours. Midway through, a summer rain storm came through bringing down sheets pounding on the tin roof. The sweet aroma of the leaf as it was resting was unlike anything imaginable. There is nothing like being tea factory. This rolled-style oolong with notes of orchids and honey is admittedly, our favorite. Clean, fruity, buttery and fresh that only gets better after multiple brews. It's a flavor ride that never ends. Totally smitten.
Tieguanyin Roasted
$21.35
Iron Goddess of Mercy. Also known as Tieguanyin or Tie Kwan Yin. This version is a medium roast oolong. Baked at a medium temperature using a charcoal firing process that yields a wildly complex cup of tea with strong notes of simmered stone fruit of peach and apricot. This is a multi-steep tea so don't miss out on the flavor ride by only brewing once. A hearty, satisfying cup of tea.
Taiwan
$23.75
Wenshan Bao Zhong. A lightly oxidized, twisted leaves-just enough to distinguish it from a green tea. This stunning leaf is from high in the mountains, of Taiwan-one of the most beautiful tea island rich in culture, people, food, and oolong tea. Very strong floral notes with a slight buttery, rich mouth feel that lingers for sometime on the palate. We are madly in love with spring floral oolongs from Taiwan. You will be too. Be sure to steep multiple times.
1980 Aged Oolong
43.25
It only took 36 years to create this spectacular tea. This is one of the most exceptional oolong teas we've ever had. Purchased on a tea buying expedition in Taiwan, we sat on a tiny chair made from a tree stump at a table made from that same tree. The tasting room at the garden was filled with people, but we sat in meditative awe as the woman brought out and brewed this magical liquid. As the first drop hit our lips, it made our eyes roll to the back of our head and without hesitation we bought as much as we could afford. It was one of the best and most precious purchases we've made and there is no more of this tea being sold on earth, by this particular farmer (who has won many awards for his oolongs over the years). Perhaps you will be one of the fortunate ones to try this very rare, exquisite oolong tea.

$Black Tea


Breakfast Blend
$14.50-28.00
At long last. A classic breakfast tea that's smooth, aromatic, and lacking smoke or bitterness. Holds up well to milk and sugar if need be, but we drink ours straight so we don't miss out on the amazing natural flavor. A great way to welcome the morning.
Darjleeing and Flush
$18.35
We were able to secure a small amount of Darjeeling 2nd Flush from the Jungpana Estate ? an older, larger tea garden located between 3000-4500' elevation. This is a very bright, complex Darjeeling and quite assertive, but still maintains the classic muscatel flavor. Gorgeous notes of orange come through on the palate.
Imperial Russian Caravan
$17.00
The humble beginnings of Russian Caravan begin with romantic stories of tea traveling with mile-long caravans of camels loaded with tea leaves for trade. The journey sometimes took as long as 16 months to endure. Nutty, smoky, yet smooth on the palate. It warms the body, fighting off the bitter cool night air.
Keemum Mao Feng
$13.75
From the glorious Province of Anhui, this lovely twisty "?Mao Feng' style black tea has a haunting sweet aroma similar to dark chocolate. A rich, creamy mouth feel coats the tongue, as flavors of cinnamon, apricot stone fruit, figs, and cocoa linger on the palate.
Organic Lapsang Souchong
$14.85-24.15
Made from the larger souchong leaf, no tea is more distinctive in its aroma and flavor which is smokey, smokey, smokey! Its produced by withering and drying over open pine. This tea is not only revered but has a genuine cult following. Think open campfire and that's Lapsang Souchong.
Morning Kick Start
$10.00-52.00
Kenya Black Tea. If you are looking for fuel to start your day, this is your cup of tea. Bold, robust, and an aroma that will knock your socks off. One thing you will notice is that this tea is produced in the CTC style (Cut Tear, Curl) so the leaves are cut into tiny balls almost resembling coffee grounds. CTC teas steep faster and stronger out of the gate and can be bitter if steeped too long. This is the only CTC we carry and for good reason: the complexity of aroma and flavor! We simply love this smooth, aromatic, flavorful tea from Kenya and have a cup almost every morning.
Nilgiri
$14.75-25.10
South India. Nilgiri means the Blue Mountains and that's exactly where this South Indian black tea is from (8,000 ft up). It is often referred to as "The Fragrant" one for its distinct citrus and honey aroma. The brew is a light golden brown and very balanced. It can stand up to cream and sugar but so worth drinking without embellishments.
Sir Water Scottish Blend
15.25
The newest edition to the tea family. A black tea blend inspired by a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland. This Heritage Blend pays respect to the owners distant ancestor and a love for this city. The blend is what you might find in a typical cafe or teahouse as you wander the cobblestone streets of Grassmarket. Robust and substantial with a smooth finish which can be enjoyed on its own, but will take kindly to cream and sugar should you desire. Be sure to pair with a shortbread biscuit for a real treat.

$Aged and Puer


Dark Rose
21.00
Aged. Stumbling upon this gem was great fortune! So pleased to offer this special hand-crafted creation. Medium to full-bodied, light earth notes and very, very smooth, with haunting notes of rose at the finish. Each heart is approximately 2-5 grams of pressed tea and has probiotics for a healthy belly just like Puer teas. Once you try it you will join so many that have developed a cult following for this very special tea.

$Earl Grey Collection


Earl Grey de la Creme
$22.00
4 oz. If you love Earl Grey, you'll find this twist on the classic a delightful treat. Strong notes of vanilla marry perfectly with oil of bergamot and give this blend a creamy finish.
French Earl Grey
$12.15-21.25
Lavender.
George Town Grey
$13.25
Earl Grey Supreme Tip

$Flavored Tea Blends


Black Currant
$13.00-21.00
Delicious! Delectable! Delightful! One of our most favorite flavored black teas. A smooth brew with strong fruity notes of currants. A divine cup of hot tea and also splendid over ice! A favorite at our local farmer's markets!
Cape Cod
$13.00-21.00
1 sip and you are magically transported to a small beach town on the water, riding a bike with a wicker basket and talking like a Kennedy. Our blend is truly the taste of a weekend on the Cape. A rich, full-bodied black tea with dried cranberries and orange peel and calendula flowers. Not only is it wonderfully comforting on a fall day brewed hot, but it's also outstanding and refreshing over ice on a hot summer afternoon by the sea.
Cinnamon Orange Black Tea
$13.25
Sri Lanka is known for its high-quality cinnamon and its cultural capital and largest city is called Kandy - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On a tea hunting trip, we traveled through this gorgeous city, stopping to see the Relic of the tooth of Buddha and fell madly in love with this little country, its tea, and its cinnamon!
Lovely Louren
$13.00-21.00
Black tea with apricot. As the owners niece Lauren used to say, "This is deeelish!" So true. Another favorite flavored black tea?this one with apricots?is fruity, luscious and smooth. Another beautiful hot brew but marvelous over ice.
Naked Masala Chai
$13.00-21.00
A traditional Indian, full-bodied black tea blended with exotic spices of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, ginger, and pepper. No chai "flavoring" is added, hence: "naked." Serve straight or sweeten with sugar and add milk for a classic chai experience.
New England
$13.00-21.00
A taste of "New England" so authentic, you may start talking like a Kennedy. Bold, robust, a touch of sweetness and a weight to the brew that feels comforting this time of year. Evokes feelings of comfort and joy. Coffee drinkers love this brew.
Oui Frenchie
$13.00-21.00
Picture this: A long weekend wandering the side streets of Paris - lost in our search for the perfect Salon de The. Hepburn sunglasses, chiffon scarf, and slight rouge pout... We are incognito, trying desperately to say in perfect French: "Plus de plus de the s'il Vous plait."
Pledmont
$13.00-21.00
Known as the birthplace of Nutella, Piedmont in Northern Italy is home to some of the best chocolate artisans in the world. This blend pays respect to this region and our embarrassing obsession with hazelnut and chocolate. A rising star among our flavored blends, Piedmont is worth a taste and a great substitute for dessert. Fantastico!
