We love hearing back from our customers about our teas. We are grateful that they take the time off their busy schedules to write back to us. Their passion and knowledge inspire us to work even more harder to bring to all of you what you deserve -  the best of the crop.

Here are some of the feedback/reviews that our customers have been sending us. Thought we would share them with you. These can help readers understand our individual teas better, and make a more informed selection of tea for themselves.

Now that spring is here in all its glory, it is wonderful to sit outside and enjoy a cup of tea. This morning I sat in the backyard of our home with Risheehat First Flush 2014.

Our six-year-old daughter woke up 2:30 in the morning with a nasty cough and fever. As we tried to calm her and our anxious selves down, our sick child asked me if I could make her her “honey-tea.” By this she meant our Holy Ginger blend that I give her with honey whenever she or anyone of us are under the weather. As I rushed downstairs, still a bit disoriented by this sudden onset of sickness in the middle of the night, I couldn’t help being  proud of her choice of remedy.

Have you ever tried searching for Organic oolongs? The kind crafted by fine and experienced tea makers and not the likes found abundantly in Asian grocery stores and restaurants. The latter aren’t Organic anyhow. But you will see barring a...
