Tea Selection

• BLACK TEA
• Black Tea is roll broken after withering; there is no steaming as the enzymes need to remain
  active. Roll breaking cracks the surface of the leaf exposing the leaf’s enzymes to oxygen initiating
  oxidation. Oxidation is the process that results in the flavour profiles of Oolong & Black tea.

  withered then manipulated to achieve the desired leaf finished. Once the process is completed it is
  steamed again before maturing to a perfect Green tea.

• White Tea is made with leaves that are processed in a manner to let them wilt slightly and lose the ‘grassy’ taste of most Green tea, while undergoing minimal oxidation. The buds and leaves used in
  White tea are often younger, resulting in a higher amount of caffeine than Green teas. Enjoy some of this healthy, original blend from the Chinese province of Fujian.

  tea, and a variety of spices. Popular to North America is a ‘cold’ chai.

• This Award-Winning Masala Chai recipe is rich, warming & generous. This tea was designed to complement milk & is good enough to stand alone.

• OOLONG
• Oolong Tea is basket tossed after withering. There is no steaming, as the enzymes need to remain active. Basket tossing bruises the edges and exposes the leaf’s enzymes to oxygen initiating
  oxidation. Oxidation is the process that results in the flavour profiles of Oolong & Black tea. After partial oxidation occurs, the leaf is then pan fried.
