What's inside

  • Japan: Miyazaki oolong, a rare Japanese oolong from Kyushu made from the Minamisayaka cultivar. Crisp, vibrant and lightly sweet. Japan is famous for green tea, so a Japanese oolong is a real curiosity.
  • Thailand: GABA oolong from Choke Chamroen in the mountains of Northern Thailand. The leaves are processed without oxygen, which raises their natural GABA, an amino acid, and gives the cup cozy, warm notes.
