Chinese New Year!

Culinary Teas

We Believe in "A Gourmet Tea for Every Taste!"

Over 600 Gourmet Teas to Choose From
This past Friday was Chinese New Year! Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival is one of the most important holidays in Chinese culture. Tea is an important part of all holiday celebrations in China and at many of these celebrations a special tea, Oolong, is served.

Oolong tea is semi-fermented which is one of the reasons it has such a unique character. The semi fermentation gives the tea a little bit more body than a green tea but less body than a black tea ... interestingly it gives the flavor a very unique twist. You will see (particularly in the infused leaf) that the edges of the leaves are slightly bruised (brownish). The reason for this is that the leaves are lightly bruised to start the oxidation process. During this process, the characteristic 'curly' leaf is also created.

We have a great selection of Oolong teas for you to choose from, some of our most popular are below:
 
Narcissus Oolong: one of Fujian Province's finest exports. Light floral notes with a mild fullness reminiscent of a Pondicherry red pepper. Full-bodied with an astringent finish.

Phoenix 1 Iron Goddess:  There are several grades of Ti Kuan Yin (a.k.a Iron Goddess of Mercy). This particular type is the top number 1 grade. When comparing to other Ti Kuan Yin's, you will see a better leaf presentation which results in a more refined character - and hence the special moniker - PHOENIX #1.

Premium Milk Oolong  A special tea produced in small quantities and with a unique milky flavor, truly a tea to celebrate with!
