Taste four of our loose leaf varieties with one of our knowledgeable staff members as your guide. This Discovery Tasting will provide an introduction to traditional Chinese tea culture through a tasting of four core tea varietals.
As our selection of teas changes seasonally, our curated menu will also change. The current tasting menu includes:
-
Jingmai Sheng Pu-erh, Spring - An un-fermented Pu-erh "maocha" with crisp notes of meadow flowers and sugarcane.
-
Xin Gong Yi (New Craft) - A specially-commissioned, high-oxidized white tea from Fuding County; notes of golden raisin, dried apricot, and rose.
-
Alishan, Spring - Taiwan's most classic tea, Alishan is a refreshing balance of floral and vegetal notes, with a finish reminiscent of buttercream.
-
Golden Monkey, First Pick - A smooth and comforting black tea made from a mix of early harvest buds and leaves, Golden Monkey, First pick has distinct notes of cacao nibs, dried fruit, and molasses.
