Our
White Tea: Silver Needle
Organic
Silver needle is the most sought after white tea and is only
harvested for a few days each year in the northern district
of Fujian, China. Packed with antioxidants these silvery down-covered
leaves have been prized for their medicinal properties for
more than 1000 years. Silver Needle has a light golden flush
with a woodsy flavored body, unique savory aroma, and long
balanced sweetness.
Our
Green Tea: Jasmine Pearls
Dating
back over 1000 years, the traditional tea scenting techniques
are still used to make this special tea. The aromatic organic
jasmine blossoms are mixed with the most tender organic green
tea leaves and buds. They are hand-rolled into small pearls.
Jasmine tea is understood to increase circulation, ease tension,
and reduce cholesterol.
Our
Black Teas: Biodynamic Breakfast
The
premise to the movement of Organics has its roots in Biodynamic
farming. Biodynamic farming addresses the environmental, social,
and financial aspects of the farm's organic measures in preparation
of this unique fine tea. The tea leaves and buds are hand-picked
on special times of the year based on the season and the position
of our planet in relation to the solar system. The select black
teas provide a cup with full awareness of global and local culture
infusing taste, aroma, and briskness. Art of Tea chose this
combination for its characteristics of brewing a golden-sunrise
color with a robust flavor and subtle notes of honey, perfect
for stating the day.
Our
Black Teas: Darjeeling First Flush
This
tea comes from the Makaibari estate, one of the last family
owned tea estates in Darjeeling, India. This high-altitude tea
is grown on picturesque steep lopes up to 4000 ft., surrounded
by fresh air and pure mountain spring water. Our select high
grown tea is hand-picked, artisan processed and provides a bright
and brisk cup much lighter than other black teas because of
its high altitude. This "champagne of teas" is a first
flush tea which brews a pink, light amber color, fresh floral
and apple-like character, with a slightly astringent finish.
Our
Oolong Tea: Peach Oolong
The fragrance
of fresh picked peaches washes the palate with organic Wuyi
Oolong and aromatic marigold flowers. Art of Tea's Wuyi Oolong

unfurl releasing a smooth, rich flavor. It is 60%-80% oxidized
and is a great oolong tea to aid in understanding the time-tested
taste profiles that make oolong so unique. It is smooth, rich,
and with a slight peppery finish.
Our
