Tea Tasting Notes

White Tea: Seasonal Rare Teas

• Peony King

  Mellow, earthy flavours with hints of fruit notes. Ever have the feeling you could have been royalty in a past life? Then you deserve a little decadance, so why not live like an aristocrat and savour a truly superb tea. And just like royalty, it is the chosen few pickings comprise the 'King' varietal of Peony. Those dubbed worthy of this status consist of one young shoot and one leaf (stalk attached to both). They are selected exclusively from the first pick of the season and thus the very best crop. Once harvested, they are gently air-dried for a light, floral and full bodied flavour

• Bai Hao Yinzen

  Floral hues with hints of apricot. Patience is a virtue when making tea, and when picking it too. Genuine Silver Needle (also known as Bai Hao Yinzhen) is a white tea best picked between late March and early April, when the year's first new buds 'flush' just before opening. And then, after waiting for the ideal conditions on a sunny morning, when the sun is high enough to dry off any remaining dew from the buds, the pickers can go to work. From Fujian Province, it is amongst the most expensive, the most prized and the most famous of China's white teas

• 10 Years Aged White

  Smooth. There is a saying in China: 'one year - tea, three years - medicine, seven years – treasure'. In a nutshell this means teas aged from seven years upwards become a treasure pursued by enthusiasts. Because the longer they are stored, the richer and mellower they become. Most aged white teas are 5-6 years old, so teas aged for 10-20 years old are very rare; and only grown in ancient tea tree forests of Fuding and Zhenghe in Fujian province. Crafted to the highest standards by masters following traditional skills passed on to them; and all behind closed doors to protect their precious secrets

Green Tea: Signature Tea

• Strawberry Green

  A well-grounded green tea, with a sweet finish of swtrawberry. With apologies to the Beatles song, this is a tea that you'll want to enjoy forever. It is a light green tea with subtle hints for strawberry. Sourced from the finest Sri Lankan green teas, it is blended with rosehip and natural kiwi fruit and strawberries

• Mango Magic

  A refreshing green tea with subtle tones of mango. It's one the world's most exotic fruits, and now you can savour that mango taste without the mess of eating one! Comprises a blend of pure green tea, orange blossoms, mango pieces, safflower and natural mango flavour

• My Marrakech

  Full bodied green tea, with overtones of fresh peppermint. With leaves sourced from both Egypt and Sri Lanka, this is truly a multicultural delight. With classic Sri Lankan green tea foundations mixed with middle eastern mintiness, this is tea that quenches timelessly

Green Tea: Seasonal Rare Teas

• Japanese Sencha

  Cream sweet brew with hints of steamed spinach, and lingering notes of seaweed. This tea is grown in the misty mountain area of Shizuoka, Japan. The needle shaped leaves create a delicious tea that has a wonderful, green-ish, transparent gold colour. The leaves are gently rubbed to create a lovely fragrance that is ever so elegant. With high levels of antioxidants and polyphenols, the Japanese believe this tea has a lot of health benefits, including assisting in weight loss. One sip, and you'll understand why it's the most popular tea in Japan

• Genmaicha

  Sweet with overtones of popcorn. Genmaicha (also called brown rice green tea), is the Japanese name for green tea combine with roasted brown rice. It is also known as "popcorn tea" because occasionally, a few grains of the rice pop during the roasting process and resemble popcorn. It has a light yellow hue, and its flavor is mild and combines the fresh grassy flavor of green tea with the almost nutty aroma of the roasted rice. If you're looking for a unique tea that warms from the inside out, this one is worthy of your attention

• Longjin

  Mellow with subtle notes of green tea. Longjing tea can be very expensive, but what price can you put on good health? Like most fine Chinese green teas, Longjing has one of the highest concentrations of catechins. This benefits almost every organ in your body, even leading to a reduction in body fat. High in vitamin C and amino acids, it is one of China's most famous teas, sometimes also known by its translated name 'Dragon Well tea'. From the area of Longjing Village in Zhejiang Province, it is produced mostly by hand and renowned for its high quality. With a mellow flavour with subtle notes of green tea, you can drink it to your hearts content

• Jasmine Dragon Pearl

  Mild and sweet. Jasmine tea from the Fujian province of China infused with the delicate scent of the nightblooming jasmine flowers. If you enjoy jasmine tea, we urge you to try the sublime taste of its well-made varieties. Our Jasmine Suite is an exotic Dragon Phoenix Pearl tea, comprised of intricate jasmineinfused pearls. Each pearl combines two delicate leaves and an unopened bud. When added to water, the pearls majestically unfurl, releasing their delicate scent and flavor. A spellbinding treat for all senses. While not cheap, this tea is well worth the experience

• Gyokuro Prestige

  Sweet with mild vegetal notes. This shade grown green tea is among the finest of Japanese teas. With a perfectly smooth, rich and soft flavour this tea produces a sweet aroma

Oolong Tea: Seasonal Rare Teas

• Tie Guan Yin

  Subtle notes of fruit and berry. One night, a poor farmer named Wei, was vistied in a dream by Iron Goddess Oolong, the Buddhist Goddess of mercy. She told him where to find a special and treasured tea tree shoot. He took the shoot, planted it in his field and nurtured it, then from this tree the finest tea was produced. Named after the Iron Goddess Oolong, the process of making this tea is complex and requires expertise; and was for many years kept secret

• Ginseng Oolong

  Sweet, fresh with a strong aftertaste. Tea Drop's Ginseng Oolong also works miracles on taste buds. It is sweet, strong and carries a strong, rewarding aftertaste. This tea is suitable for drinking in afternoon onward – after all, that's a more appropriate time for a good, stiff drink

• Jasmine Oolong

  Light, with hints of jasmine. Our Jasmine Oolong is prepared using the ancient method, in which the tea absorbs the fragrance of the jasmine flower during the baking progress, producing a scented tea that's aromatic and full of flavour, without using any additives or chemicals. Jasmine Oolong is a pure, cleansing tea that is best enjoyed in the evening, when you're winding down for the day. Best of all, sipping Jasmine Oolong is like going on a journey through the high mountains of Taiwan. An experience you'll never forget

• Milk Oolong

  Creamy and buttery. Originating from Taiwan, this tea's taste is light and flowery and sometimes compared to milk. This tea variety can be grown at higher altitudes, and the yield is about 20% higher compared to traditional tea varieties. These circumstances made it become one of the most popular varieties among tea farmers in Taiwan and Thailand

• Da Hang Pao

  Roasty with a sweet lingering aftertaste. Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) is a heavily oxidized, dark oolong tea. According to legend, the mother of a Ming dynasty emperor was cured of an illness by a certain tea, and that emperor sent great red robes to clothe the four bushes from which that tea originated. Six of these original bushes, growing on a rock on the Wuyi Mountains and reportedly dating back to the Song dynasty, still survive today and are highly venerated

Black Tea: Seasonal Rare Teas

• Darling Darjeeling

  Delicately floral, with notes of musky spiciness. Darjeeling tea is produced in West Bengal. With only a few dozen tea gardens in the Darjeeling hills of India allowed to call their product by the name, Darjeeling tea varies widely in flavor depending on a handful of factors.

• Yunnan Golden Tips

  Light bodied with hints of maple and spice. Yunnan Golden Tips is a sublime black tea whichever way you take it. Meticulously crafted in Yunnan Province, and composed of gorgeous, golden tips yields more flavor and aroma than standard leaves. Golden orange in colour. A bouquet of dried woods and smoke give way to lingering flavours of honey and molasses. So smooth and rounded it can be enjoyed neat orwith a drop of milk, and will not taste bitter even if over-steeped

• 10 Years Pu-Erh Tea

  Malty and full bodied. This particular Pu-erh tea has been stored for 10 years, greatly enhancing the taste aromas, so fresh herbaceous aromas become a faint wood scent. The taste is delightfully mild, with a long-lasting fragrance. Like fine wine, Pu-erh ages beautifully when stored properly, creating deep, rich, complex flavours and aromas. Labeled with the year it was picked and the region it was grown, many Pu-erh tea bricks or cakes are decades old and sell for thousands of dollars
