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...
Taiwan Oolong Joy
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.

@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.GaoShan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 02, 2026 11:44 amThanks for your question!

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.buullon wrote: ↑Sat Jan 03, 2026 4:03 amThanks, I'm technically not in the European Union and never had trouble with custom, so I think that would be ok.GaoShan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 02, 2026 11:44 amThanks for your question!

I have some encouraging news! I sent an order to a customer in the U.S. via Canada Post and it got through. It's too early to tell whether Canada Post will be a sustainable shipping option, but the signs are good. The shipping cost is reasonable and duties must be prepaid before the package is shipped.
After copious sampling, I've selected two winter gaoshan I like. I'm also able to provide some winter Dayuling, though I haven't tried it yet. I'm doing my best to get the tea shipped before the Lunar New Year break near the end of this week. If that doesn't happen, I will be taking preorders to be delivered around the beginning of March.
I'll update the list in the next few days. I also have limited quantities of spring gaoshan available, which should be good until the 2026 harvest arrives in June/July.

I've updated my list of teas on page 1 of this post. I have three winter gaoshan available: Longfengxia, Hehuanshan, and Dayuling.
My spring gaoshan are still going strong, so feel free to help me drink the last few packs to make room for next spring's harvest.
I can ship to the U.S. via Canada Post. Feel free to contact me for international shipping.

I'm having a flash Lunar New Year sale from now until midnight on February 18. My new winter high mountain oolongs (Longfengxia, Hehuanshan, and Dayuling) are 12% off and the rest of my inventory is 25% off.
Chit Chats, the carrier I'm using for Canadian and international shipments, is closing the branch nearest to me as of February 19. I'll either have to commute across the city or find a similar alternative. This would be a great time for customers to take advantage of cheaper shipping rates while they're available. I can also ship to the States via Canada Post, and this won't be affected.
Enjoy all the holidays coming up in the next few days: Valentine's Day, Family Day, and Lunar New Year!
