Selected Assam leaf teas with a striking pine needle-shaped leaf and many golden brown tips form the basis for this classical East Frisian type. Of a medium-strong and aromatic character, this blend develops a temptingly delicious and sweetish note through the portion of real vanilla pieces when brewed. We recommend adding some rock sugar and milk or cream, which even intensifies the taste. It is a real treat, not only on Sundays …
Owing to the tense world market situation concerning vanilla prices, the quantity of vanilla pieces may be reduced and/or the catalogue price may be subject to change.

Also known as “Zhucha” or “Pearl Tea”, this Gunpowder is much finer than its predecessor. Just like the classic Gunpowder, this tea is dried in rolling drums. The constant rotation gives the tea its spherical form. “Temple of Heaven” tea features a very tightly rolled ball, which is also a sign of quality. The aroma is softer than that of the standard quality and less bitter. This tea may be enjoyed at any time of the day. If you still find the brew too tangy, try pouring away the first brew and taste the second. Most of the caffeine will also be eliminated in this way.

This tea is from Shizuoka on the Fujiyama mountain slopes and is harvested mechanically in summer. Sencha means “steamed tea”. This tea is carefully processed and slightly steamed before rolling and drying. The leaf thus obtains a very fine and fragile structure. The infusion has a shimmering, light olive-green colour. The taste is distinct with a dominant note in the aftertaste and ideal for those who like strong green teas. Besides the taste characteristics, this tea is also most cost-effective.

The basis for this Chinese speciality is a green tea to which fresh jasmine blossoms are added during the drying period. The blossoms are partially removed later. The classical flavouring technique has been known in China for some 1,000 years. Jasmine tea is practically the Chinese national drink and is consumed at any time of day and on every occasion. This quality is one of the most popular. This mellow blend still has quite a few blossoms, which leave an intense, flowery jasmine taste and scent.

Probably one of the most unusual tea specialities in terms of production as well as character is produced almost entirely by hand in the Province of Fujian. A high-quality Ti Kuan Yin Oolong which was fermented only lightly, forms the base of this rarity. The production steps must be followed meticulously in order to receive the desired creamy, milky taste. Taking so much care is rewarded with an extremely mellow tea which will quickly win over many new lovers.
