Winter is here and the holidays are a splendid time to drink tea and keep warm. Other tea drinkers are tucking into their western brewed spiced chais in the winter. Meanwhile, there is an endless catalog of warming, energizing, and naturally festive teas that you can gongfu brew. Gongfu style lends itself toward sharing with others, so grab your tea pitcher and start pouring.

The Chinese National Day on October 1st is one of the longest holiday breaks of the year. Well deserved respite for the workers of China that lasts for one week. It's been an especially trying year in China with covid battles abound, so we're actually clocking out even earlier than expected.

Orders made after Wednesday, September 28th will be shipped on October 8th.

We are deep into our tenth anniversary year and the celebration continues. Our latest release is a large group of teas and teaware spanning provinces and styles. Which teas are...

We have new tea additions to the site, including a few hybrid styles that have been years in the making! We've taken our cross province styles to a new place with pressings of our Yunnan small batch shou Puer and raw Puer teas alongside Anhua heicha from Hunan. These one kilogram fu bricks are an engaging mash up of styles that can't be missed. We've also got a few other new heicha to expand our commissioned collection and the return of our sold out white ruyao skull teapots

Aged White tea is new on the block compared to aged Puer. White tea ages into sweeter, darker, and medicinal flavors. Unlike fresh white tea, aged white tea is hard to over brew. Thus, aged white tea has more steeping options that highlight the strengths of the mature tea.

After months in the tea mountains (and we're still here!) we have new teas to share. There is a range of new offerings; raw Puer, white tea, black tea, new chabu and even teaware.

These price increases will mainly affect teas from 2020 and earlier. The good news is that you still have this weekend to pick up your old favorites before we change prices on Feb 21st at midnight PST.

Rinsing is an important step in gongfu style tea brewing and can optimize the taste of your tea and tea session, as well as rinse away dust and open up compressed teas. Here are a few reasons to rinse your tea and how to get the best results from rinsing.

The Chinese postal service and white2tea will be on break from January 20th - February 15th.

In honor of the festival (and to help encourage a few timely not too last minute orders) we are having a sale: free global shipping on orders over $75 with coupon springfest22.
