Three roasted oolongs and one surprising gaoshan find have been added to my spring 2025 tea list. Stay tuned for one more tea in the next couple days.

Also, the Chen Huan Tang teas have entered Canada. I still don't know whether I'll be charged customs fees. Now I just have to ship them to the States...

I've updated the product list with the last tea of summer 2025. It's a Lishan red oolong that's similar to the much-loved Championship Black.

Until December 7, you can get a 20% discount if you buy three or more teas. Orders of more than $150 will include a free 30 g bag of Fushoushan green tea.

Finally, I'm still figuring out how to ship to the U.S. at a reasonable cost. FedEx Express works, but the price is high. I'll be doing some test shipments with Canada Post to see if they're any better. Orders from Canada have already been delivered and affordable shipping is available to other countries as well.

Oh that's something interesting! Do you happen to have European customers already? is there a mailing list? I don't check the forum regularly enough to catch a presale :)

@GaoShan I’ve been enjoying two lightly roasted high mountain from you -Hehuanshsan and Longfengxia. Both are aromatic with elegant profiles, showing clear expressions of their respective regions. Thank you for sharing 🍃

Thanks for your question! I've only shipped to Canada, the U.S., and Australia so far, but would be happy to ship to Europe. However, I've heard from Ethan that European customs can destroy packages, so you might want to be aware of that. I'd be happy to provide any extra customs documents to try and prevent this from happening.

Thank you for the positive reviews! I like these gaoshan myself and am glad you do as well. :)

Thanks, I'm technically not in the European Union and never had trouble with custom, so I think that would be ok.

I'll think a bit more about it, maybe try to find other people so we can save on shipping.

Is there a deadline?

The sale expired in December, but there's no deadline to order. I'm in the process of acquiring winter 2025 gaoshan, which will hopefully be out in February. I'll probably keep the spring gaoshan up until the next spring harvest in July or until it's gone, whichever comes first.
