Tasting and reviewing Two Leaves and Bud Teas
Do you have some of our tea? have you drank or tea before? We want you to taste and review our Two Leaves and a Bud teas, weather it is one of our organic green tea, white tea, or black tea. To help you with the task at hand here are the questions to ask yourself when sampling one of tea: 1. Describe the appearance of the dry leaves. Are they whole or broken? Are the leaves twisted or flat, regular or uneven? 2. Describe the color of the tea liquor (liquid). 3. Close your eyes and inhale. What does it smell like? 4. Now, slurp the tea-don’t worry about making loud noises. Spread it all over your tongue and mouth. What flavor notes do you detect? 5. Finally, swallow the tea. Is the finish (or aftertaste) long or short, … Continue reading

Two Leaves and a Bud: Winter White Sale
- WHITE SALE – 20% Off White tea and White Porcelain all of January! CHECK OUT OUR WINTER WHITE SALE White teas come from the Camellia Sinensis plant, just like green tea, oolong tea and black tea. But white tea is picked early in Spring when all the leaves are still in a bud and covered with fine white hair, hence the name, white tea. Production of white tea is similar to green tea with no fermentation but is even more subtle – the finest white teas are dried in the natural environment and always hand selected. The flavor of white tea can vary from light, sweet, savory or velvety. FREE SHIPPING TOO! on Ground orders over $50 within the continental US!

What is Herbal Tea
In the US, many people call herbal infusions ìtea.î This is the cause of much confusion ñ does my peppermint tea have true tea in it (and therefore caffeine?) or is it just peppermint (and therefore caffeine-free)!? An herbal tea, tisane, or ptisan is an herbal infusion made from anything other than the leaves of the tea bush (Camellia sinensis).

For our herbal blends we search the world for the finest available herbs and blend them to have the flavors complement one another. All of our herbal blends contain no caffeine. On the other hand, flavoured teas are prepared by adding other plants to an actual tea (black, oolong, … Continue reading

White Peony Tea
The Chinese name,”Bai Mu Dan”, literally means white peony blossom. There is no Peony in this tea, just luscious white tea. Harvested only during a brief period in early spring, white tea is the unopened bud of the tea plant. Classic white tea is smooth and savory, but so light in the cup as to be called “white”. White tea is the very early spring growth of certain tea plants that is handled very delicately to preserve the white “hairs” on the leaves. It is very gently sun-dried to preserve the mellow flavor of the tea. Find out more about our exceptional organic teas.
