Featuring Kukicha (green), Jin Xuan 'Milk' Oolong (oolong), and Yunnan Da Ye (black), the World of Tea Gift Set takes us east through Japan, Taiwan, and China. 

Kukicha is a shade-grown Japanese green tea, bright with vibrant notes of juicy fruits and a brilliant, glowing green color. Delightfully refreshing, this green tea is accessible enough to intrigue new tea drinkers and interesting enough to keep the attention of long-standing tea lovers.

Our Jin Xuan 'Milk' Oolong comes to us from an award-winning producer in the Ali Shan Mountain region of Taiwan and gets its name from the tea's naturally creamy feeling on the palette. Jin Xuan makes an aromatic cup that stands up through multiple steeps and will delight the tea lover in your life on cozy winter mornings. 

Yunnan Da Ye is a black tea from the Yunnan province in southwestern China and a staff favorite here at Saratoga Tea & Honey! Perfectly balanced with a natural sweetness to contrast the tannin typically found in black teas, Yunnan is the ideal cup for someone who is looking to branch out from Tetley or Twinings. Bonus fact for the tea nerd in your life: In China, black tea is known as 'red tea', and the rich umber color of our Yunnan Da Ye is the perfect example of how these teas got their names (both in the West and in China!).

The traditional powdered ceremonial Japanese green tea; matcha has recently gained popularity in the west as a "super-food".  As opposed to other teas where an infusion of the leaf is drunk, with matcha, the whole leaf is consumed.  This, of course, means more antioxidants and more caffeine.  Our Matcha Wako is enjoyed in thin tea preparation and is the second highest of the traditional grades.  Prepared hot, this tea is wonderfully smooth, with sweet marine notes, it will give you an umami experience. Wako arrives vibrantly green and freshly sealed in airtight 20 gram tins which yield 12-14 servings. 

Each bowl is hand-thrown and glazed; variations in shape and color should be expected as each is a unique work of art.

This beautiful tea set is the perfect companion to drinking whole leaf tea.  The 14oz teapot is full of whimsical expression and pours without a drip.  Use the infuser stand to hold your basket of leaves for a later brew and enjoy sipping from the perfect warm tea cup.
