WHITE TEA 

  Peachy Keen White This newer style of white tea known as Pai Mu Tan, is composed of the unopened leaf bud and the top two leaves of the tea plant (two leaves and a bud). The unopened bud is covered with fine downy white hairs (hence the name white tea). This specialty creation has a delicate, sweet flavor with the addition of peach oils and marigold petals.(1 oz bag)

GREEN TEA 

 Dragon Well (Lung Ching/Long Jing) This renowned Chinese tea has a distinct flat shaped leaf, deep green color and sweet, almost floral aroma, with a vegetal flavor note.

 Moroccan Mint Green This refreshing green tea is a blend of famous Chinese Gunpowder Green tea leaves and dried mint leaves. Drink as is, or add sugar as served in Morocco.

 Jasmine Green Naturally scented with actual jasmine flowers, this Chinese green tea is famous for its distinct floral characteristics. 

 Lemon Ginger A combination of Chinese green tea, lemon grass, and bits of ginger, this blended tea is perfectly balanced.

ARTISAN BLOOMING TEA

 Jasmine Blossoms An assortment of blooms. Hidden within these hand tied balls of Chinese green tea leaves and jasmine flowers are a variety of blossoms, waiting to sway to and fro in the jasmine scented brew. Some with amaranth, marigold, and/or lavender. (2 blooming balls per small black bag)

OOLONG TEA 

 Ti Kuan Yin-Iron Goddess of Mercy A Chinese Tribute Tea, lightly oxidized so it imparts an orchid-like floral aroma and light golden/green color, with a slight toasted undertone. Requires several infusions for the tightly rolled leaves to unfurl completely to release its fullest flavor.

 Bao Zhong Oolong This exquisite tea from Taiwan is processed in the traditional long twisted style. The dry leaves look very dark but unfurl after several infusions to reveal its pale green nature. The heady aroma and taste create the sense of walking through a field of spring flowers.(1 oz bag)

BLACK and DARK TEAS 

Great Falls Breakfast Blend Based on classic blends of Indian Assam and mid grown Ceylon teas, our version is malty but brisk with a clean, fresh taste. Delicious on its own but can easily stand up to milk, sugar, honey or lemon.

 Darjeeling and Nepali Estate Teas These teas are hand harvested and brew an exquisite cup of tea. From India’s Darjeeling region and from Nepal in the Himalayas. The unique head notes and lingering back notes in the aroma and taste leave a lasting impression as to why these teas are so prized. (1 or 2 oz bag, depending on flush)

 Lapsang Souchong The distinct smokiness of this tea is developed as the leaves absorb the smoke from the pine wood fires used in the drying process. A unique tea often used in recipes!

Dark Rose Hearts from Hunan, expertly dried dark tea pressed into small heart shapes, with a light layering of rose petals which imparts a sophisticated aroma and aftertaste. Reinfuses many times.

 Pu Erh This ancient style of Chinese dark tea is only recently arriving in the American markets. It is most often sold in pressed form (large and small) but can be found in loose leaf, too. It has a distinct earthy aroma and taste due to the fact that it is slightly fermented. Some Pu Erhs are aged for many years. 

 Great Falls Grey A softer but more complex version of traditional Earl Grey. Our blend has a touch of vanilla and berry combined with classic bergamot and brought to visual life with the addition of cornflower, marigold and safflower petals.

 Creamy Orange Tea from the Nilgiri region in southern India is the base for this amazingly fragrant tea blended with orange peel, vanilla bean and marigold petals. It is satisfying and delicious enough to drink as a dessert.

 Winter Spiced Chai A blend of cinnamon, ginger root, cardamom, orange peel, with a touch of vanilla and fennel to highlight this proprietary profile. Brew and drink black, or the traditional way with milk and sugar.
