Tea Guide
CAFFEINATED TEA
Caffeinated teas come from a single tea plant, camellia sinensis. The leaves are picked and processed differently to yield the wide variety of caffeinated teas we enjoy. Similar to the way wine is influenced by its locale, different tea regions have their own production methods and specialties.
Black Tea
Black tea is made from withering, rolling and fully oxidizing the tea leaves, which allows them to darken in color. Heat is then applied to dry the leaves. Black teas feature deep and robust flavors and generally have the highest caffeine content of all tea. Our black teas are sourced from tea grower collectives in India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal.

Oolong Tea
Oolong tea is produced by withering and partially oxidizing the leaves before applying heat to stop the oxidation process. This puts it in between green and black teas, and depending on the style and amount of oxidation, some oolongs will be closer to black tea, and some closer to green tea. Some oolongs are darker and feature more roasted, caramelised or earthy flavors, and some are closer to green teas, with lighter, more floral, fruity, or grassy notes. Oolong tea contains a oderate level of moderate caffeine. Our oolong tea comes from a family-run farm in Taiwan.
