Jesse's Taiwan Oolong Sampler
Seven of Taiwan's best oolongs, straight from the tea mountains to your cup, with flavors from light and sweet to rich and smoky!

Sep. 2026: Weโ€™ve updated this sampler from 4 to 7 teas!

Our Taiwanese sampler box now includes:
7 x 10g of teas (70g total)
14 tea sessions

Alishan Milk Oolong (10g)
Light, sweet, fresh and smooth with a milky mouth feel. 

Dong Ding Charcoal Roasted Oolong (10g)
Tea from Jayme's family farm, roasted using traditional Longan charcoal roasting method. Crisp, toasty and smooth.
 
Red Oolong (10g);
A new innovative tea production method starts the leaves like a red tea but finishes as an oolong. Sweet like brown sugar and deep!
 
"Heavy Roast" Charcoal Oolong (10g)
Rare and unique ultra-heavy charcoal roast, it takes a month of hand labor to complete one batch. Coffee, cigar & leather flavors.

Four Seasons Oolong (10g)
Clean, crisp, clear, with a slight green vegetal taste and floral sweetness.

Golden Pearl Light Roast Oolong (10g)
High mountain oolong, pure and clean with notes of caramel from a very delicate roast.

Taiwanese Sun Moon Lake Red Tea (10g)
Premium red tea from Taiwanโ€™s top red tea region, this tea has notes of menthol and cinnamon alongside classic red tea maltiness.

Jesse on the New Taiwan Sampler:

This is the second version of the Taiwanese sampler, an updated version with more teas at a lower price point, allowing tea friends to take a whole tour of Taiwanโ€™s teas in one box!

I went to Taiwan in January 2024 with no idea what I would find, so I posted a "mystery box" item on the site.

That sampler had four teas and a total of 110 grams of tea, but the $50 price tag meant it was a bit expensive to just give them a try and see which you liked.

Over the years, we have added three more Taiwanese teas to the site, and so when it came time to restock the Taiwan sampler, we changed formats: now, the sampler has 7 teas, each with 10g, and a lower sticker price with basically the same price per gram.
 
I think this will be a fantastic new way for people to get tea from this beautiful place - including our farm on Dongding mountain (below). I hope you like the teas and the new sampler format!


Dong Ding Shan & your tea plants!!

OUR TEA PEOPLE

We will be working directly with Jayme and Uncle Liu, a third-generation tea family with farms in Dong Ding and Qilai Mountain!
 

Jayme and I at her family's tea farm on Dong Ding Shan. Jayme's family's teas are featured in Michelin Star restaurants across Europe.
 
Uncle Liu is one of the last people in all of Taiwan who still does traditional charcoal roasting, using only pure Longan tree charcoal to make small batches of maximum 6 kg at a time.

The slow roasting process and super even charcoal heat lends the tea a depth of flavor different from normal "electric roasted" oolongs.
   
Teapot Tea Pet
Yes, it's a tea pet, and yes, you can actually use it as a tiny tiny teapot!
 


VALUE AND QUALITY
 
Once youโ€™ve picked your favorites, head over the to Taiwanese Tea Collection for 50g full-sized boxes of all of these teas! Choosing the options for multiple packs means even more discounts.
 
NOT JUST TEA, TEA CULTURE

Jesse believes the key to making good tea is to help his Chinese tea friends share not just their best teas, but the best ways to make the teas.

That's why each box comes also comes with info that tells you:

  • Tea Origin
  • Steep Temperature
  • Steep Time
  • Directions for both teapot steeping and gaiwan steeping
Don't Forget Your Tea Pets!

In Chinese Gongfu Tea Tradition, Tea Pets accompany you at teatime and you "raise" them by feeding them tea! Check out the tea pets at the bottom of this page.
