Frequently Asked Questions

This blend sources premium black tea exclusively from the Congou region, renowned for producing exceptionally refined leaves. Natural lychee scenting is applied to high-grade tea rather than lower-quality leaves, resulting in a more aromatic and sophisticated cup with genuine depth and character.

How much caffeine does this black tea contain?

How do I brew this blend for the best flavor?
Steep in water between 195–205°F for 3–5 minutes. Start at the lower end for a lighter, more delicate cup, or extend steeping time to unlock deeper, more complex flavors. Use approximately one teaspoon per 8 oz of water and adjust to your taste preference.
