Jesse's Taiwan Oolong Sampler


Four of Taiwan's best oolongs, straight from the tea mountains to you cup, with flavors from light and sweet to rich and smoky! 

Our oolong box includes:

Alishan Milk Oolong (50g)
Light, sweet, fresh and smooth with a milky mouth feel. 

Dong Ding Charcoal Roasted Oolong (25g)
Tea from Jayme's family farm roasted using traditional Longan charcoal roasting method. Crisp, toasty and smooth.
 
Red Oolong (25g);
A new innovative tea production method starts the leaves like a red tea but finishes as an oolong. Sweet and deep!
 
"Heavy Roast" Charcoal Oolong (10g)
Rare and unique ultra-heavy charcoal roast, takes a month to complete one batch. Coffee, cigar & leather flavors.

Jesse Says: 

When I left for my Taiwan trip in early January, I had no idea what I would be able to find, and so I posted a "mystery box" item on the site.
 
I spent the next two weeks drinking tea all over taipei and even going to the tea mountains. When I got to this spot on Dongding mountain, I knew this would be where we would get our teas! I'm proud to announce my Jesse in Taiwan Oolong Sampler Box!


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
 
Want the best value? This tea comes in 100g and 200g sizes - check the drop-down menu above!

Jesse's Teahouse started because Jesse realized the quality and value of the tea directly from the tea markets and mountains in Asia was so much higher than what could be easily found in the States -- and around the world.

Jesse contacted his tea friends, they shipped their best teas to him, and he sends them to you. That's it!
 
These teas are high quality and can be re-steeped multiple times! Each serving makes between 4-8 cups of tea, so at around $.50 a cup, you get top quality Chinese teas at a price that you can enjoy every day.
 
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.

Found the 2-Time Charcoal Roasted High Mountsin Oolong the star of this box, other's were not to my taste buds, but most black teas aren't to be fare.

Seriously, every single one of these four teas from Taiwan are so delicious in their own unique separate ways. The Luye Red Oolong was so unbelievably delicious that I actually ordered an entirely new sampler box, because they were out of the individual 50g portions by itself at the time. However, the fact that they are also good really made that such a great deal. 10 out of 10, I will be buying them again.
