Ali Shan Oolong Tea
Grown high in the mist-covered mountains of central Taiwan, where cool air and slow growth give the leaf its depth. Soft, layered and unhurried, like the roads that wind through those forests.
The tea
The teas from Mira's letters, offered on their own. Each one is vacuum-sealed at origin and sent with brewing guidance, so it arrives as close to the field as post allows.

Nothing but the top spring bud, hand-picked and dried in open air. No rolling, no firing. The rarest of the white teas, and the gentlest.

The season's first pluck after winter, when the plants wake and push out their most delicate leaves. The most sought-after harvest of the year, and it tastes like it.

Gunpowder green with a faint smoke, built to carry mint and sugar without disappearing underneath them. Spearmint is the traditional pour; peppermint is the cooler, sharper reading.
