Jasmine Green

This is a nice, balanced blend. Some jasmine teas are either too light or too heavy on the jasmine influence. This one is just right.

Green Eyebrow

This is a great simple tea. I've definitely given it to people who didn't think they liked green tea and it has changed their mind. A great starter green.

Yunnan Black

Love, love, love this tea! It is top quality. I love the beautiful long leave that unfurl as they steep. There's something magical about this tea.

Cha Cha Cha - Snapback Cap

Really well-made, durable material, good stitching and vibrant colors! Probably best for medium-large domes, it's a bit big for my petite-person head but my husband hasn't taken it off :)

Rangsai Mountain Green Special Lot

Smells a bit like hay and tastes like a sweet subtle dream

Ashley

Da Hong Pao

Rich, deep flavor that leads to a mellow response. Forget coffee's caffeine frenzy! And a taste that doesn't linger or sour your mouth (and breath) for hours. This is essential tea.

The Little Red Cup Tea Co. is a small, family-owned company based in Brunswick, Maine. We made our first trip to China more than 25 years ago, and since then we’ve lived in Beijing for several extended periods and visited scores of times. We are not Chinese. But China is our second home; we've been to weddings there, and funerals, east and west and north and south and we have a deep and abiding love for the people and places we've come to know.
