Green Tea

Rich in antioxidants. May help to prevent cancer, lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar levels. Thought to aid digestion, prevent cavities and slow signs of aging.

Dragonwell

Legendary tea from the Zhejiang province is entirely handmade producing flat jade green leaves leading to a mellow-sweet tea with chestnut undertones. Plucked and processed according to the ancient methods of ‘Cha Ching’, or the ‘way of tea’. Dragonwell is historically known for promoting mental alertness.

Golden Jade

Glistening gold and silvery jade tea buds are elegantly intertwined, creating an extraordinarily beautiful and delicious blend of green and black teas.

Gyokuro Imperial

The finest of Japanese teas, Gyokuro bushes are covered in shade weeks before harvest to increase the chlorophyll content of the leaves. The results are dark green leaves with high concentrations of antioxidants, vitamins and amino acids. Celebrated for its emerald green infusion and sweet aftertaste.

Matcha

Traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony, this top qulity green tea powder is hand-made from the youngest Gyokuro leaves. In addition to the health benefits of Gyokuro, Matcha is extremely rich in vitamins (A, B-complex, C, E and K) and is a natural source of dietary fiber.

Pi Lo Chun

This rare tea is grown in the famous Dong Ting Mountains of China, amidst the shade of apricot, plum and peach trees. These young leaves are allowed to absorb the delicate fruit fragrances until the youngest buds and leaves are harvested, then hand-rolled into downy spirals, unique to this type of tea.

Sencha

Sencha literally means ‘roasted tea’, in which sweet green tea leaves are artfully cylindrically shaped and dried following traditional Japanese techniques. With a fresh vegetal taste, this favorite has a quality beyond the ordinary.

Three Kingdom Mao Feng

This wondrous handmade young downy green tea from the Fujian Province evokes the essence of a low lying mist kissing rolling hills of tea during harvest season.
