Jesse's 8-Tea Gongfu Tea Sampler - Jesse's Teahouse

Tea Only:

Jesse’s 8-Tea Gongfu Tea Sampler

For new tea drinkers, I always recommend people try a bunch of different types of teas so they can see which tea types they like most. This sampler has 8 teas, all of which come with info cards with steeping instructions. It’s the best-selling item on the shop so you know it’s good!

Two-Cup Travel Teapot Set - Jesse's Teahouse

Tea Equipment:

Two-Cup Travel Teapot Set

This travel teapot set is simple, easy to use, and affordable. I usually recommend people to start with this cheaper option, and if you find you love teatime and want to invest in a full tea table set or fancier equipment, this travel set will always still be useful to keep in a backpack, at work, or for going to a friends’ house.

(Protip: This item has a combo option to also get the above 8-tea sampler and get a discount! Get them both to get started right away!)

Sister Ai's Everyday Ancient Tree Red Tea (2022) - Jesse's Teahouse

Jesse’s Discovery Recommendation:

Sister Ai's “Everyday” Ancient Tree Red Tea

What is known as “black tea” in the West is called “Red Tea” in China. This fantastic 50 g mini-cake of ancient tree red tea comes direct from Sister Ai's tea farm on Qianjiazhai Mountain in Pu'er, Yunnan. Bold, strong, sweet, and just a little bit funky, it’s a really strong start for anyone looking to try high quality tea that is approachable to newer drinkers.

EU/UK Alternative: Taiwanese Four Seasons Oolong
