Did you know teas can taste different just by the terroir it’s from?

Terroir /ter’wär/ is a fancy term for a region’s unique soil, climate and altitude. The combination of these factors greatly affects the flavour and characteristics of a tea. Each growing tea region has a unique combination of these factors, in fact one single country can host tons of terroirs.

Why we love traditional teas

We’re constantly inspired by the wide variety of different flavours the leaf has to offer from floral and nutty oolongs to smooth and rich pu’erhs.

Each different style is determined by the plant cultivar where the plant is grown, the age of the bush when harvested, the season it's picked, and how it's treated—dried, fired, steamed, oxidized, aged. On top of that, each type brews at a certain temp—hot, but not screeching-kettle hot. And while it is slightly more complicated than boiling water, it's only slightly.
