Monthly Tea Subscriptions
To create a community for folks to collectively learn about and enjoy tea, we have curated three programs, each exploring tea of a specific type and style.
Healthy Antioxidants
White, green, and yellow teas handcrafted with gentle processing methods to maximize the health benefits of Camellia sinensis leaves. They are rich in flavonoids (antioxidants) like ECGC, and are lower in caffeine than other teas.

May include an occasional, seasonal herbal or pu-erh tea.

Oolong Lovers
Oolong from China and Taiwan are twisted or rolled whole leaves, oxidized and roasted to develop color, aroma and taste. Subtle differences in processing leads to seemingly endless variations in flavors and intensities. Some drink nothing else.

Afternoon Tea
Fully oxidized Camellia sinensis leaves, known as red tea in China and Taiwan, and black tea in India, Sri Lanka and Nepal. They are full of flavor, high in caffeine content, and still retain many of the health benefits of other teas. They are often mixed as chai or enjoyed as afternoon tea in the Western world.
