Each collection represents months of sourcing, tasting, and refinement. We group teas not by type, but by the experience they create.
Selecting tea should not feel overwhelming. We have organized our offerings into collections designed around specific moments and moods. Whether you seek morning energy, afternoon focus, or evening calm, there is a collection built precisely for that purpose.
Each tea within a collection has been chosen to complement the others. They share certain qualities while offering distinct flavor profiles, allowing you to explore within a theme without risking a poor match.
Four single-origin green teas selected for their bright, invigorating character. The collection includes Japanese Sencha with its grassy sweetness, Chinese Longjing with toasted chestnut notes, shade-grown Gyokuro rich in umami, and the gentle Huangshan Mao Feng with orchid undertones.
Three premium oolong varieties spanning the oxidation spectrum. Lightly oxidized Tie Guan Yin offers floral elegance. Medium-roasted Da Hong Pao brings mineral depth and lasting warmth. Phoenix Dan Cong delivers stone fruit aromatics that evolve across multiple infusions.
Three caffeine-free blends for restful evenings. Egyptian chamomile paired with French lavender creates a classic relaxation brew. South African rooibos blended with Madagascar vanilla offers comforting sweetness. A cooling spearmint and peppermint blend aids digestion after dinner.
Two carefully matured teas from Yunnan province. Our 2015 sheng (raw) pu-erh has developed honey and leather notes through natural aging. The 2016 shou (ripe) pu-erh offers immediate depth with earth, dark chocolate, and dried fruit complexity.
Limited seasonal harvest from three renowned estates in the Indian Himalayas. Collected in early spring when leaves are most delicate. Expect muscatel grape notes, bright astringency, and floral complexity that has earned Darjeeling its reputation as the champagne of teas.
Minimally processed teas from Fujian province showcasing the leaf in its most natural state. Bai Hao Yin Zhen (Silver Needle) consists purely of spring buds with honey-melon sweetness. Bai Mu Dan (White Peony) adds young leaves for fuller body and hay-like warmth.
Every collection arrives with more than just tea. We believe that knowledge enhances enjoyment, so we include materials to help you prepare each tea at its best.
Exceptional tea deserves proper preparation. While detailed instructions accompany each collection, here are the fundamentals that apply across categories.
Water quality matters more than most people realize. Filtered water is ideal—pure enough to showcase the tea without chlorine interference, but not so mineral-stripped that the brew tastes flat.
Temperature control is essential. Green and white teas suffer from boiling water, which scorches delicate leaves and creates bitterness. These require 70-80°C. Oolongs and pu-erh can handle hotter water, around 90-95°C. Only robust black teas and herbals thrive at a full boil.
Time is the final variable. Most premium loose-leaf teas need far less steeping than supermarket bags. Thirty seconds to three minutes covers most preparations. Longer is not better—extraction follows a curve where desirable compounds emerge first and harsh tannins follow.
Tea products are sold for their flavor and cultural enjoyment. While research suggests potential wellness benefits associated with tea consumption, individual experiences vary. These products are not designed to treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Please consult your healthcare provider if you have concerns about caffeine intake or interactions with medications.
