Serving size Each serving can be steeped 5-7 times over a day
How is our tea different?
No blends or flavored tea. Just single-origin aged tea.
Hand-picked from the wild tea mountains. Handcrafted by artisans.
Re-steep each serving 5-7 times over a day. At home or office.
If you prefer depth and complexity over strong fragrance in your tea, you are at the right place.
Our Story
Since my youth, I have grown up around single-origin pu'er tea. My father, a pu'er enthusiast who has been sourcing tea for the last 15 years, would bring a tea cake of Laobanzhang pu'er home and would share it around the family table. But outside of home, I realized that tea is more commercialized with blends, tisanes, and bubble tea as the norm.
