Admittedly, there are a lot of tea vendors selling a lot of different teas out there. Most are, in our opinion, very poor to, at best, average quality - possibly based on price. The best teas often range from moderately expensive to really really expensive especially if they have been aged for years.
Barbara and I have decided to offer a few of our favorite teas for sale. The quality is so evident in the infusions that quality is remembered long after price is forgotten.

Barbara and I discovered the Green Tea nutrition bars years ago. They are like most Taiwanese food --- in our opinion, they are the best tastining nutrition bars we have ever found. The bars are soft and chewy like rice crispy treats with just a hint of sweetness - the Taiwanese don't like overly sweet foods. The original Green Tea bar is loaded with whole grains (sprouted whole grain brown rice, oat, buchweat, rye whole grains, sesame, and flax seed) and it's nutty flavor has a hint of green tea while the Tropical Fruit bar has some dried fruit to modify the flavor nicely. To tell you the truth, I can't decide which is my favorite. These 35 gram bars make an idea luch substitute at only 110 calories each - loaded with fiber and EGCG antioxidants. Did I mention they are delicious?
The first tea I would like to offer is produced by a friend of ours in Taiwan. She hand picks her highest quality high mountain oolong and roasts it to perfection. Then, she takes the best of that oolong and puts it through at least 10 additional roastings to produce her exquisite Hong Shui Red Water oolong. The tea filsl your room with its fragrance when infused, producing a rich dark liquor with a totally unique roasted nutty flavor. Barb and I have never had another Red Water oollong that ever approaches this quality. This tea ages incredibly well stored in air tight dark glass containers with screw lids. Barb and I served our best friend from Taiwan some of our Hong Shui Cha that we have had for over 10 years. He only drinks Red Water and pu-ehr teas and he could not believe the quality, the richness, the deep mellow flavors, and the complexities that an additional 10 years of aging had imparted on the tea. I have recently been able to import a limited quantity of Hong Shui Red Water along with the Premium Hong Shui Chen Nian Lao Red Water oolong that has been aged for more than 4 years.
We are also offering 2 different pu-erh teas - a loose leaf pu-erh made in 2004 along with a simple to use round nugget of Golden Tip Yunnan pu-erh. Both are the fermented style and both are high quality, robust, and mellow.
Barb and I have sampled many different Tikuanyin oolong teas. The one we are offering for sale is from Anxi in China and has a wonderfully smooth bright flavor and is very forgiving in the steepings. You can follow our suggestion of using 7 grams in a teapot or you can use the Taiwan method of using much more tea and very short steepings.
Thank You --- Terry & Barbara
