We choose tea the way sommeliers choose wine.

Origin. Harvest. Process. Taste.

Nothing else.

The word is everywhere. It is on packaging, in marketing, across social media. It is also largely meaningless, and we will explain why.

Preparation is not complicated. It is intentional. Two grams. Seventy millilitres. Seventy-five degrees. Here is everything you need to know.

First flush. Picked once in spring when the leaves carry the most. Not available again until the following year.

Every tea we carry has an address. A farmer. A harvest date. That is not a detail. That is the foundation.

We describe what is in the cup. If the finish is bitter, we say so. Precision over flattery. Always.
