Tea Mailing

Basically, once upon a time, I went to a little local tea shop up in Anchorage and purchased a few ounces of a tea I liked. After that though, my relatives got it in their heads that I really, really liked tea and began to send me all sorts of teas from different shops to try. I don't mind and I actually do enjoy all of these teas but they sent entirely way too much for just me.

I eventually managed to convince them to stop but I still have way too much... I only drink tea on rare occasions. I have tins for all of these so they've been able to last awhile, but honestly, some of these are approaching a few months and I won't be able to and don't plan on getting to all of it.

I'm not going to charge for these because I am seriously trying to get rid of all of this. They're all still good and I promise they taste great. There's nothing wrong with them, really! I just have way too much for myself.

If you're interested, leave your name in the subject so I know who you are and then fill out the little form way at the bottom.

Ti Kuan Yin Jade
Loose leaf oolong tea blend from Summit and Spice.
A high grade of Ti Kuan Yin (also called Iron Goddess of Mercy) from Fujian, China. Gentle and highly aromatic, this has a greener and more floral flavor than the Ti Kuan Yin Fine. It brews a light yellow-green cup and will easily yield three infusions.

Oolong tea comes from the same plant as black, green and white teas and only differs in the processing. Some oolongs are quite dark while others brew up quite light. The color of the leaf and cup depends on how long the leaves are oxidized but, as a rule, they are lighter than black teas and darker than green teas. Oolongs are also known for yielding many infusions from the same leaf, sometimes as many as four.

Monkey Picked Oolong
