Good afternoon! Hope everyone had a pleasant weekend. We woke up to abrupt cooler weather here in Boston. Frankly, no complaints from me. As much as I like guzzling cold brewed tea in hot weather, hot tea is what comforts me the most, and this rainy, dreary weather is perfect for a hot cuppa.
We're pretty excited about the feedback we have received since adding new teas to our lineup. We are trying to get as many people as possible to try our teas. As part of this ongoing mission, we're offering
Free Shipping in the US (First Class Mail) through
this Friday, August 17.
So what are we offering?
-
Darjeeling (black) - we tried to highlight the subtle differences between First Flush Darjeelings through our sourcing of
Puttabong ("Ch Exotic") and
Singbulli ("Thunder"). Both organic estates, owned by the same producer, yet different
-
Darjeeling (white) - we wanted to find a white tea that rivaled last year's production from Thurbo Estate (which we sold out in a heartbeat), and we are thrilled to have been able to source one from
Castleton Estate
-
Darjeeling (oolong) - it isn't very common to find a quality oolong, but this offering from
Castleton created quite a stir. Seems to do quite well brewed western as well as gong fu
-
Darjeeling (green) - last year's buttery, naturally sweet green tea from
Glenburn really struck a chord with a lot of our customers, so naturally we chose to source from them again!
-
Assam - I'm not surprised that
Marangi's offering has been so well received. This isn't on the same level as a
Halmari per se, but is produced using quality clones and is pretty smooth. Definitely worth trying if Assams are your thing
-
Dooars - our maiden offering from this region located in the foothills of the Himalayas is an organic green tea from
Nuxalbari, quite different from others we have tasted. We usually refrain from sourcing teas grown at lower altitudes, but this one stuck out in a good way!
-
Nepal - last spring's offering from
Sakhira was such a hit that we had to source from this estate again. Very different dry leaf appearance, still the same delicious taste profile that reminds you somewhat of a Darjeeling. We also sourced a lovely high altitude green tea from
Himalayan Bliss!

Thank you for reading, and hope we get the opportunity to send you some of our teas!
