Yi Hong (Mao Feng Black)

This beautiful, small leaf tea from Jiangsu Province has a marvelously rounded flavor profile and is one of the most popular teas in the region known for its famous YiXing teapots.  In fact, our Yi Hong is grown in the Yi Xing Tea Garden at 1,600 feet and undergoes 85-90% fermentation.  It has a pure, sweet flavor that lacks bitterness or astringency.  The faint earthy tones are beautifully balanced with brown sugar notes and a toasty richness.  It's become my favorite morning tea.

Aged Yunnan Pu Erh

Grown in the mountains of China's Yunnan Province, this large leaf pu erh is particularly unique.  Native local trees are interspersed with the ancient tea plants to enhance the fragrance and flavor of the final product.  This pu erh is aged a minimum of one year to mellow the flavor bringing out the fine earth notes and hint of smoke.  A natural sweetness plus a low caffeine content help make this an excellent after dinner tea.

Assam, Bukhial Estate PF 2nd Flush

For a rich, flavorful and wonderfully strong cup of tea, you'll want to try this amazing Assam.  Like our Bukhial TGFOP, the PF is malty, bright and packed with complex flavors.  But the cut of the leaf and the unique processing make it ideal for 'power' brewing.  Think of it as an 'espresso' style tea.  The extra fine, rolled fannings produce a stunning "pick-me-up" brew.  From an Ethical Tea Partnership estate.
