Similar to wine, tea is affected greatly by the climate in which it grows. Differences in soil and weather conditions give us a rich mosaic of tea's many varieties and flavors. Altitude also plays an important role. Tea plants grow slower at higher altitudes, producing leaves with concentrated flavor. Gourmet tea varieties are almost exclusively made from these high-grown leaves. The more common low-growth varieties typically end up on your supermarket shelf.


Tea is produced in over thirty countries around the world, though the finest comes from just five: India, Sri Lanka, China, Taiwan and Japan. Home to most of the world's tea drinkers, these countries continue to pay much attention to how tea is grown and processed. In many, tea continues to be produced by hand in accordance with age-old traditions

Suggested ratio is one teaspoon of leaves per cup of water. However, the light and voluminous teas will taste best with twice that. To steep, please use boiling water (212F) when preparing black, dark oolong and herbal teas. And it's important to use cooler (180F) water when steeping green, light oolong and white teas. And remember to not over-steep, or your tea will taste bitter. Rule of thumb is 5 min. for most black, 7 min. for dark oolong and white, and only 3 min. for light oolong and green teas.

black teas
taste best when prepared with boiling water, and steeped for five minutes. Recommended ratio is one teaspoon of leaves per cup of water. The only black tea that deviates from this rule is our Darjeeling Symphony no. 1. This is a delicate First Flush tea that grows high along the slopes of the Himalayas. This tea will taste best when prepared with cooler water (180F) and steeped for three minutes.

green teas
taste best when prepared with water that is cooler-than-boiling (180F) and steeped for three minutes. Recommended ratio is one teaspoon per cup of water for the relatively heavy Japanese greens (Sencha) and slightly more for the light Chinese greens (Pi Lo Chun). Remember to use cooler-than-boiling water. Otherwise your tea will taste bitter. If using a kettle, water is ideal when it begins to emit a 'rumble' sound. If using a microwave, look for the tiny air bubbles forming. These are good signs that your water is ready.
