Our Tea
As a personalized tea company we have been able to over the years build an extensive collection of teas based not only on our own curation, but the tea preferences and tea ratings of our subscribers. We think of our teas the same way you might think of great wines, they are fine agricultural products with great variety from tea garden to tea garden, and year to year. Unlike the big tea bag companies our goal is not for each cup of tea to always be the same, but to always be its best self.
Our lineup changes with the seasons and changes in preferences and demand, but we always have a wide selection of very different teas to match our subscribers’ very different preferences.
Our pure black teas feature such classics as Ceylons, Assams, Darjeelings, Nilgiris, and Yunnans. Each one offers a unique flavor profile, echoing the geographical nuances of the regions they originate from.
In the realm of green teas, we offer an assortment that ranges from Gunpowder to Chun Mee. The floral notes of Jasmine and the refreshing Moroccan Mint are very popular with those who prefer a more delicate and aromatic green tea experience.
Moving on to blended black teas, we obviously have a lot of different Earl Greys, and everything from Indian Spice blends to a selection of Fruit Teas.
Beyond the typical black and green teas we have very popular oolongs, from Da Hong Pao to Tieguanyin. We have introduced many subscribers to the world of Pu-Erh, and the delicate white Bai Mu Dan. .
A significant portion of our subscribers want caffeine free teas, so we have an ever wider variety of both pure and blended herbal teas with ingredients like Chamomile, Rooibos, Hibiscus, Honey Bush, Holy Basil, Peppermint, Marigold, and lemon verbena.
From years of analyzing our tea subscriber preferences and tea ratings we know that even the most popular teas are disliked by some, and even the least popular teas are loved by some, so our mission is to not just give you a variety of tea, but give you the tea you are most likely to love!
Below you can see what subscribers have had to say about a long list of our teas.

Chocolate Pu-Erh
“I loved the aroma immediately! The chocolatey floral notes were wonderful and made me even more excited to drink it.

It definitely tastes like a mild hot chocolate, which I was not expecting since my prior experiences with chocolate tea were not bad, but not spectacular either.”
