Welcome to our Tea Market.

As we travel in China, we find unusual and rare varietals. Some of these teas generally are not sold in the U.S. Some come in lots too small to list for sale in our tea catalog. In the course of the year, as we open these new lots, we would like to offer them to you on a limited basis at special prices.

We will update these offerings regularly so please visit this page in the future. Selections will range from white, green and black teas to special high-mountain Oolongs and aged and rare Pu-erhs. In some cases, we will offer a new tea that we have not carried before or have not sold for some time. What we offer will not be predictable!

Please check in and see what we have listed here in the Marketplace. We think you will find some great teas at very reasonable prices.

2008 Spring Harvest Teas

The following teas have arrived at our warehouse from China. These teas were harvested and procured in the period of April 3 through 12, 2008. A number of these teas are Qing Ming or “before the rain” offerings. They are tender and rich tasting teas, offering our customers a distinctive and nuanced cup.

We are delighted with this year’s selections. Please take a look.
