The Price of Tea in China. . .

We have just received a new shipment of tea. Many of you who are tea drinkers will be very excited as two of our most popular teas, the 15yr Puh-Er and the White Dragon Pearls, are back in stock. Many more of you will be pleased, I am sure, because we are now carrying some teas that we previously would not stock. . .

For those of you that know me, I am a bit of a stickler for quality. My thought precess goes something like this, "if you are going to spend your hard earned money on something, why not buy the best that you can afford?" So, while I was opposed to carrying teas like Earl Grey, Chamomile, and Mint Tea (because the quality is usually VERY poor), I have now found ones that live up to my expectations and are of the highest quality. Although the mint and chamomile are not actually "tea", but herbal infusions. Nonetheless, they are of the highest quality, as you have come to expect from us.

The Earl Grey is made from the finest Ceylon Black tea and Italian Bergamot. It is perfumy, but not overly so as most Earl Greys are. Chamomile has been known in China as herbal medicine, used to calm the nerves and aid in digestion. The mint tea has also been used to sooth and calm the digestive system.

All of the tea we stock comes hand selected from our tea supplier. They actually travel to Asia every year to hand select the best teas from the finest farms and growers. Yes, they actually buy tea from the actual grower. That is how good the tea is. And it is all for our customers. Because you deserve the best. . . Cheers.
