This is a bowl of whisked up Matcha using our Matcha Samidori. It is rich, and creamy without anything added. Whisk it back and forth to froth it up and then at the end whisk it in M motion to eliminate the big bubbles. We will post a instruction video soon.
Now available on our website. Wuyi Oolong is full bodied Oolong that is toasty, slightly earthy with a floral aftertaste. It is exceptionally well balanced. Hints of honey is also present in the infusion. It is complex and layered with flavors and notes. A must try for Oolong tea drinkers.
Making iced tea is fairly simple and easy. Picture above is a demonstration on making iced tea.
1. To make 32 oz. iced tea, we need 4-5 teaspoons of tea. In this demonstration we use 5 teaspoons of our sleeping dragon green tea.
2. To make 32 oz. of iced tea we will brew 16 oz. of hot tea first. We put the tea leaves into a tea pot.
3. Pour hot water (195 degrees Fahrenheit) into the tea pot. Steep for a 3-5 minutes.
4. Then we will prefill a glass jar about half full with ice.
5. Pour the hot tea in to the glass jar. Use a strainer or filter to strainer the tea leave. You don't have to use a strainer, if you don't mind bits of leaves floating around, but pour it slowly.
6. The hot tea will melt some of the ice we put in earlier. So the last step is to top the jar off with some more ice.
Now the iced tea is made. It only takes 5-10 minutes. You can garnish it with a few drops of lemon juice, mint and or sweetener.
Cold brewing is very easy. Pictures below show how to cold brew Snowbud white tea. Just simply put the tea leaves in a jar. Fill it with water, then put it in the fridge. You will have a jar of refreshing iced tea 12 hours later.

A black tea Matcha? Yes, and it is exceptionally well balanced. If you like quality cup of breadfast tea or just want to be adventurous. You should definitely try this Matcha from Kenya's Nandi highlands. This unique Matcha is craftily small-batch made by following a Japanese style stone grind process. The brewed tea pleases the palette with smooth and malty notes with right amounts of astringency. It is also very versatile. It takes milk and cream very well. It can also be used as a baking ingredient. Available now on our website.
Pictured above is our Cold Brew Blend cold brewed for 12 hours. Delicious and refreshing! It is a mixture of some Jasmine Dragon Pearls, Aged Snowbud white tea, Golden Yunnan, Formosa Oriental Beauty, Gunpowder green tea, Rose petals, and Jasmine buds. The tea is crisp and layered with floral flavor, honey sweetness, and nutty notes.
The electric Matcha whisk is another new product. Shown on the left are pics of the whisking in progress. It froths up the Samidori Matcha really well. The whisk will soon be added to our website.
This Ali Shan Oolong is very nice. Freshly seasonal, crisp, sweet and floral. Layers of flavor in this complex green Oolong. We will start carrying it very soon. Will keep you posted for this new tea. Cheers.
