Unlike commercial teas blended for consistency, our harvests are "Micro-Batches" (often as small as 12kg total). These are artisanal, hand-rolled leaves that preserve the unique flavor of a single season. Once a harvest is sold out, it is gone forever, making every cup a limited-edition experience.

To preserve the delicate aromas, store tea in an airtight container away from light and moisture. For the best experience, we recommend using 90-95°C water. Note that our high-mountain teas can be steeped multiple times, revealing new flavor notes with each infusion.
