SHINCHA: 3.5oz/$24.99
Shincha 2006
BUY IT HERE!
OUR *SUPERIOR* ONCE A YEAR SHINCHA! First flush soft bud Kagoshima harvest has a distinctive aroma from the rich volcanic soil. A fresh, sweeter taste with more catechin & theanine.

Rooibos/Green Blends:
A real taste treat! We have developed some exclusive Rooibos and green tea blends you went find elsewhere. Rooibos is picked in South Africa and is reknowned
for its delicious taste and medicinal benefits for two centuries. Like green tea, it is high in polyphenols but contains no caffeine, making this a low caffeine blend. Our blends mix rooibos and natural flavors with a full bodied Chinese hyson lucky dragon pan-fired green tea.

IMPORTANT: Our standard teas are sold in 3.5 oz. (100g) unuits. This typically makes 25 cups. Many retain taste even after being infused 2-3 times, so each 3.5 oz. (100g) unit actually makes 50-75 cups.
