why we love traditional, pure leaf teas

We’re constantly inspired by the wide variety of different flavours the leaf has to offer from floral and nutty oolongs to smooth and rich pu’erhs.

Each different style is determined by the plant cultivar where the plant is grown, the age of the bush when harvested, the season it's picked, and how it's treated—dried, fired, steamed, oxidized, aged. On top of that, each type brews at a certain temp—hot, but not screeching-kettle hot. And while it is slightly more complicated than boiling water, it's only slightly.
