Pre-rain Dragonwell

| 1g | per | 2oz | at | 165°F | for | 2m |
Longjing, or "dragonwell" is perhaps China's most famous tea style, a green tea created by roasting freshly harvested tea leaves against a hot pan. This direct-contact heat caramelizes sugars in the leaf, producing a distinctly toasted and nutty taste that complements the freshness of the leaves.
Our Pre-rain Dragonwell is harvested in early April before China's Guyu rain festival, ensuring the leaves are young, fresh, and sweet. The end result is a tea perfect for daily indulgence, with a hearty toasted aroma, full bodied flavor, and a finish that clings to the palate.

Alishan Baozhong

Commissioned just for us, Alishan Baozhong is a Taiwanese oolong with a unique fusion of terroir and craftsmanship. The tea is produced in Northern Taiwan's baozhong style, which pre-dates the ball-rolled oolongs for which Taiwan is now most renowned. Translated as “bundled variety”, baozhong-style teas are twisted rather than rolled and oxidized only to around 5%, making them the lightest of Taiwan’s oolongs.
Unlike most baozhongs, our Alishan Baozhong is grown at high elevation in Taiwan's famed Alishan region. At an altitude of nearly 5,000 feet, the tea plants grow slower, developing more complex taste. The combination of terroir and craft produces a mellow tea with crisp notes of cane sugar, gardenia, and cream.

Wuyi oolong is China's oldest oolong variety, cultivated in the craggy ravines of Fujian's Wuyi Mountains. Unlike other oolongs, the Wuyi style is crafted with longer oxidation and a much heavier roast.
Our Amber Wuyi is a wonderful introduction to this category, produced from the classic Shui Xian cultivar and roasted in the traditional method over longan fruitwood charcoal. This heritage cultivar and premium craftsmanship produce a mineral-rich flavor, with notes of burnt caramel and whiskey casks.

When brewed, Golden Monkey, First Pick offers a sensuously smooth flavor, with notes of caramel, cocoa nibs, and molasses.
