If you consider yourself a tea connoisseur, you'll be delighted with these unique teas. Try something new. The flavors will delight you.

Chocolate Tea

Chocolate Tea

Premium black tea from China flavored with sinfully dark chocolate. A rich sugar-free treat, delectable both hot and cold. If you have yet to try gourmet chocolate tea, you'll be pleasantly surprised by its superior taste. Indulge your taste buds. Give our Chocolate Tea a try.


Christmas Tea

Christmas Tea

A special Christmas tea for the holidays. An aromatic combination of premium black tea from China with spicy cinnamon, pungent cloves, and tangy orange peels. A great way to keep warm the whole year round. Indulge your taste buds. Give our Christmas Tea a try.


Valentines Tea

Valentines Tea

Give your love the rich taste of chocolate-dipped strawberries. But without the calories, fat or heavy guilt that usually follow. It's our sinfully rich and amorous Valentine's Day Tea. Black tea with the rich taste of dark chocolate and fresh summer strawberries. Great taste and no "love handles." What could be better?


Assam Harmony Tea

Assam Harmony Tea

Black tea from the Assam region of India. Assam tea brews up a burgundy-red cup with rich aroma and strong malty taste. The latter makes Assam an ideal breakfast-time tea. Our "Assam Harmony" is an outstanding second-flush (summer) clonal tea from Mangalam, arguably the finest estate in the Assam region.


Yunnan Gold Tea

Yunnan Gold Tea

Black tea from the Yunnan region of China. Yunnan tea is easily identified by its luscious soft leaves, and a unique peppery taste. Our "Yunnan Gold" as the name implies is an exceptional quality tea with beautiful gold-colored leaves and an abundance of rich peppery flavor. Allowed to take only one tea to a desert island, “Yunnan Gold” would be our clear choice.


Golden Needle Tea

Golden Needle Tea

Black tea from the Fujian province of China. Golden Needle tea is hand-processed each spring with a careful plucking of only one leaf and one bud. It is among the finest Chinese black teas available today. The name comes from its unique appearance: golden tips atop long and slender leaves. If you enjoy full-bodied teas with an abundance of flavor, we urge you to give this tea a try.


Red Mudan Tea

Red Mudan Tea

Black display tea from the Zhejiang region of China. A beautiful arrangement of premium black leaves in the form of a summer flower. Best infused by placing directly in a cup, and allowing the Red Mudan "flower" majestically unfurl before your eyes. Makes a wonderful "piece de resistance" to top a memorable meal.


Red Bloom Tea

Red Bloom Tea

Black tea from the Hunan region of China. The name refers to this tea's inner attribute. If it doesn't look to be blooming now, wait till you add water. Then each cluster magically unfolds, revealing a red flower hidden within, and infusing a cup with its robust scent and flavor. It is among the rare group of display teas, meant to delight your eyes as well as taste buds. Makes a very fitting finish to a special meal.


Keemun Encore Tea

Keemun Encore Tea

Black tea from the Anhui region of China. Keemun tea, perhaps the most famous of Chinese varieties, is prized for its rich chocolaty flavor, and sumptuous aroma. Our "Keemun Encore" is a hand-made, limited production "Hao Ya A" grade tea. It is a rare embodiment of this tea’s wonderful potential.


Caramel Tea

Caramel Tea

Premium black tea from China flavored with chunks of sweet caramel. A tasty sugar-free treat, delectable both hot and cold. If you have yet to try gourmet caramel tea, you'll be pleasantly surprised by its superior taste. Indulge your taste buds. Give our Caramel Tea a try.


Forest Berries Tea

Forest Berries Tea

Premium black tea from China flavored with summer berries. A summer-anytime treat, delectable both hot and cold. If you have yet to try gourmet berries tea, you'll be pleasantly surprised by its superior taste. Indulge your taste buds. Give our Forest Berries Tea a try.


Silver Needle Tea

Silver Needle Tea

White tea from China. Silver Needle is among the most revered of Chinese teas, produced in the Fuding and Zhenhe districts of its Fujian province. Gathered only in the few days of early spring, the preparation of this tea is governed by strict requirements to ensure a premium product. This dedication to perfection is evident in the cup, which is sweet and delicate with a clean, airy fragrance. Our "Sublime Needle" is a Special Grade (Bai Hao) version of this exquisite tea.


Dragonwell Tea

Dragonwell Tea

Green tea from the Chinese village of Dragon Well (Lung Ching in local parlance). Dragon Well tea has a distinguished shape. Its leaves are broad and flat, a result of laborious drying. There is something to show for this hard work: Dragon Well tea is refreshingly smooth, sweet and delicate, among the very best of Chinese greens. Our "Dragon Well Requiem" is a First Grade version of this truly sublime tea.


Casablanca Twist Tea

Casablanca Twist Tea

An interesting twist on the old Moroccan Mint tea, which traditionally combines Gunpowder tea from China with fresh peppermint. We kept the latter, and replaced the smoky notes of Gunpowder with the muscatel highlights of a First Flush Darjeeling from India. The result is fresher, smoother and - we hope you'll agree - a nice improvement on the original.
