A serious tea gift for the serious tea lover: four rare teas from China and Taiwan that represent the cream of our collection. These handmade teas are made to be savored and take especially well to gongfu cha brewing, which involves a high ratio of leaves to water, and preparation in small vessels. This technique reveals the incredible depth of flavor and aroma in the leaf, and allows you to re-steep upwards of a dozen times, with each infusion subtly distinct and satisfying. 

The set spans a range of exquisite selections, from a personal-sized compressed pu-erh, Gold Nugget, to the micro lot, high-elevation black tea Black Gold, plus two oolongs: fruity, smooth Spring Fortune and the expertly roasted High Mountain Ali Shan Traditional. They're paired with a handcrafted small unglazed teapot made from mineral-rich Taiwanese clay. The porous clay retains heat extremely well, which rounds and enhances the taste of each tea for a truly immersive experience.
