Chinese

An aromatic black tea from the southwestern province of Yunnan, Dian Hong features fine, evenly-rolled mahogany-colored leaves with an abundance of orange-gold tips. It brews into a beautiful crimson color and offers a smoky and spicy flavor along with a hint of citrus.

Qimen, “Great Gate,” refers to the town and district of the same name in Anhui province, where it is cultivated near the Yangtze River and served in town as a welcome for dignitaries. Only the young hairy buds of the tea plant are used, turning sienna-colored and wiry when processed and strong enough for two infusions. The vermillion and smoky brew is bold and full-bodied with hints of chocolate and roasted chestnuts. Perfect for mind opening, heart opening, or any occasion of clarity and liberation.

Literal Translation: The Straight Mountain Small Variety

This highly esteemed Chinese tea is processed over a fire of pine logs, giving it its unrivaled smoky aroma and taste. It is a good tea to drink by the fireplace while puffing on a pipe, or on especially dark rainy days. The solid, black-brown leaves brew cups of pensive essences, like welcoming hearth-fires imparting a thermal inner calm.

Naturally sweet, this enticing blend is a traditional recipe from Guandong. Black tea leaves, aromatized with the essence of lychee, hum with an intensely fruity flavor that produces grins and sighs on consumption. 
The lychee fruit, native to the subtropical regions in Asia, has a unique taste somewhat in-between a pear and a grape.

A treat for vanilla lovers! A balanced black tea with a dessert-like quality. This tea is aromatized in the traditional Chinese way in Guandong province.
