FOR SEVEN YEARS, OUR FOUNDER HAS GONE TO THE MOUNTAINS HIMSELF —
Taitung, Zhangping, Fenghuang — buying tea from friends who make it.
We carry each tea in small batches. When one runs out, we go back for the next harvest.
From their hands to your cup in Chicago.
living water flows from its source
A coastal green tea grown in the sea mist of the Yellow Sea.

T Y P E — Green tea
H A R V E S T — Spring 2026
C A F F E I N E — Medium
S I Z E — 40 g (1.4 oz)
Laoshan's tea gardens sit between 100 and 400 meters, close enough to the coast that sea mist settles on the leaves. The maritime soil gives the tea its natural umami, a gentle sea-breeze note you will not find inland.
A R O M A — Fresh and vegetal with a hint of the sea
T A S T E — Refreshing and smooth, natural umami, a mineral finish
