The Tea Masters in New Zealand work from a simple precept; tea is a science, but it is also an art. It’s this kind of attitude to tea making that we admire. The leaves are hand harvested and crafted to reveal extraordinary complexity of flavour; floral notes, succulent vegetal greens, tropical fruit and a creamy sweetness.

This Oolong Loose Leaf Tea from New Zealand has certain resemblances to our Iron Goddess of Mercy (tieguanyin) yet is unique and nuanced. Try them side by side and find out for yourself.

Claire W. ★★★★★

The dry leaves have this lovely, almost buttery aroma that turns into a smooth cup with a hint of sweetness on the finish. I appreciate that it feels like a real craft product, not something mass-produced — you can tell it’s hand harvested the moment you brew it.

Lily ★★★★★

The hand-harvesting really comes through in the cup—each steep unfolds a new layer, and the leaves hold their character for three infusions easily. I've been brewing it as my afternoon reset and it's genuinely become the ritual I look forward to.

Julian W. ★★★★★

The leaves are so finely crafted that each brew tastes like a quiet art project, and they keep unfurling for a solid three steeps. I’ve already got my second bag on the way, it’s that good.
