"If man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty."

-- Japanese Proverb
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many factors affect the flavor of the tea in

your cup, such as plant varietal, soil condition,

seasonal weather patterns, altitude,

care taken of the plants, processes used in

harvesting, drying and shaping the leaves,

and the care taken in packaging and storing

the final product.
