Never one to cut corners or deviate from her high standards, she looked for and found some of the highest quality loose tea available.

Freshly bagged and shipped, just like her coffee. So whether you like yours just plain black tea, or blended with other flavors, we probably have what you're looking for. And if not, just let us know. We can always try to get our hands on just the tea you've been looking for.

White Tea

China
White tea comes from a rare strain of the tea plant and is harvested only a few days of the year in the Fujian province. This tea is not oxidized or rolled, but simply withered and dried by steaming. Theoretically, because of the processing, this tea has the most polyphenols which have been linked to cancer prevention. Production is extremely limited.

Pai Mu Tan is made from the leaves of the "Big White" bush and mixed with the "Water Sprite" tea plant. The leaves have silver tips and are greenish-brown in color and very flat. White tea has the rarest and most delicate flavor.
