The eastern province of Zhejiang is famous for Lung Ching tea, which has been grown at the western lake Xihu near the city of Lonjing ever since the time of the Tang dynasty. Also known as the "Dragon Fountain Tea" following a legend about a rain-bringing dragon, it was awarded the highest possible title: "Tea of the Emperor". Its taste gives you an idea why. It is light, a little sweet and fruity without losing the classical green tea character. This top quality tea is carefully dried by hand in pans after wilting and thus produces a flat, emerald-green leaf. 40gm
This tea is another jewel from the immense treasure vault of Chinese specialties. For more than 100 years, it has been produced in the southeast of the Chinese high mountains. After traditional hand plucking, the tea is only fermented for a very short time, in order to save the tea's "green soul". The thorough "two leaves and a bud" plucking is clearly visible. The cup shimmers in light green with a slight shade of champagne color. The tasteis spicy with a mild, slightly fruity note. A special treat. 20gm
Yellow tea is traditionally only half or partially fermented, comparable to Oolong. During the production, the tea master must apply some instinctive feel in order to stop the oxidation process exactly at the right moment. Due to its stimulating effect and its many pleasant qualities, consumption of this tea remained a privilege of Buddhist monks for a long time. Our quality has an open, multicoloured leaf with bronze, golden-brown and green shades, similar to Pai Mu Tan. The cup offers a unique kaleidoscope of apricot shades. The taste is mild with a hint of Papaya and an underlying spiciness. 20gm

This coarse Pekoe-type is made from medium leaves and is a very down-to-earth variety with an excellent value for money.

This organically cultivated tea is a speciality of the Korean tea culture. It comes from the island of Jejudo, located to the south of the Korean peninsular, where layers of volcanic rock act like a natural filter for the rain water. The clear and pure water is one of the most important components in the cultivation of this wonderful product. "Woojean" means "before the rain", the harvest taking place from mid to end of April, before the spring rains set in. The glowing, bottle green cup treats us to a scenty, grassy and slightly nutty taste experience. 30gms
Probably one of the most unusual tea specialities in terms of production as well as character is produced almost entirely by hand in the Province of Fujian. Immediately after withering the still moist leaves are heated for a short while in milk steam, which conserves the pretty, lightly olive-green leaf and cup colour and invokes the distinct creamy scent and taste. Subsequently, the leaves are rolled manually and dried. An extremely mellow tea, which we are sure, will quickly win over many new tea lovers. 50gm
The tea industry has come to be Rwanda’s most important economic sector and one of its largest employers. More than 90 % of the production is exported. The plantation Rukeri was founded by Europeans almost 50 years ago and only produces 700t of orthodox tea per year. In order to keep the leaves from breaking, they are moved only minimally during the withering process. Our quality has a long, wiry, mid-brown leaf and its taste is slightly spicy with a pleasant citrus note. The brightly shining cup releases a spicy-fresh aroma. 50gm
Almost 75 % of all Rwandan cultivated teas come from small farms which have united in a cooperative called Assophte. The production of orthodox tea is less than 20 % which is why we are rather proud of this green tea rarity, growing at an altitude of approximately 1,800 m above sea level. The infusion unfolds the wiry, dark-green leaf and a scenty, slightly spinach-like aroma with a pleasent lingering after taste on the palate. The cup is a shining lime colour. 50gm
The city of Bao Loc is located in the Lam Dong province in the highlands of Southern Vietnam, where excellent green Oolong varieties are produced using ancient Taiwanese methods. The freshly picked tea leaves are first laid out on cloth to be dried in the sun under the open sky. They are then rolled in cylindrical bamboo baskets until crushed, which starts the fermenting process. After reaching the desired level of fermentation, the tea is dried using low temperatures. The glowing green cup has a flowery scent and sweet flavour. 50gm
In the province Ha Giang, located in the very north of Vietnam, close to the Chinese border, family-run estates, so-called “small holders”, cultivate teas following traditional methods. Since 2012, this is done largely as controlled organic cultivation. Amongst them, the Cao Bo Factory produces very fine black and green qualities. We have chosen a light brown, evenly worked leaf with golden leaf tips. Light and smooth, but still full-bodied and aromatic with a copper-coloured cup. The infusion is slightly floral with hints of caramel. 40gms
This tea comes from the mountainous south of Yunnan, where a rainy and foggy climate supports the growing of very aromatic and fine teas which differ clearly from the qualities coming from other parts of China. They are considered stronger and to have more "body". The Assamica leaves are more voluminous, but at the same time softer and more tender in their flesh. Following tradition, only the youngest leaves are plucked and processed, providing the basis for this gentle, very aromatic taste which combines the earthy characters of Yunnan and green tea. 30gm
