This tea in my opinion is our boldest brews, mostly Assamica this tea has a bite but the Taiwanese side of this tea is juicy and sweet. This tea always amazed me by the cornucopia of notes.

JASMINE BLACK – UNYTEA
Jasmine scenting is when tea leaves are heated and mixed with flowers and in between heatings as the leaves cool they suck in the aroma and flavor of the flower. Jasmines teas are USUALLY paired with light green teas but after drinking a few jasmine blacks i really have to admit that I think I prefer it as a black tea. Something else that’s notable about this tea is the the cultivar (bamboo shoot yellow dawn) has a pleasantly low acidity and resteeps many times.

Authentic Masala Chai
Authentic Masala Chai - This is a take on the traditional spiced tea from India. I like it SPICY. I used Vahdam India Assam black tea, fresh ginger, cardamom, cinnamon sticks, cloves, fennel, nutmeg, star anise, whole milk, and jaggery to sweeten the deal. The taste is rich, sweet, and spicy from the black pepper and fresh ginger. VERY tasty! The main benefit of chai I notice is how it opens my senses and wakes my brain up! Whenever I’m tired, a cup of tea always lifts my spirits.

The liquor is mellow and predominantly woody with soft notes of dried apples and honey in the middle. Mellow notes of dried goji berry, dark wood, and fresh herbs make their presence felt throughout the cup, while notes of grape seed come in the aftertaste.

Ancient Tree Black Tea
This is the most extraordinary tea we've tasted in several years! Sourced from trees averaging over 100 years old, this tea is harvested only once annually and has natural notes of juicy baked plum. Unlike tea sourced from a monoculture tea plantation, this tea comes from tea trees grown in a bio-diverse region in the Lincang region of China's Yunnan Province, with an elevation ranging between 4,500–6,000 ft. The unique environment impacts the natural and complex flavors of the tea. Although this tea is a black tea, the flavor reminds us of fruit forward Dan Cong oolong tea from China's Guangdong Province.
