Collection: Bestseller

For beginners, approachable, mild teas like Milky Oolong, Jasmine Dragon Pearls, or a gentle white tea like Downy Silver Needle are ideal. They are aromatic but not overpowering, easy to prepare, and forgiving of slight variations in temperature and steeping time. Those who prefer something stronger should start with a Yunnan black tea or the Mini Tuo Chas.

Currently, you can create your own "tasting set" by adding several bestsellers to your cart – most varieties are available in sizes that are perfect for getting acquainted with them. Each product description includes a flavor profile, origin, and brewing guide to help you choose. Curated sets are planned, where bestsellers are sorted by mood and tea type.

It depends on the tea: Green tea, oolong, and black tea contain moderate caffeine, pu-erh can have a slightly stronger effect, and white tea is more gentle and calming. On each product page, you'll find the information "Caffeine & Mood"—this describes whether the tea has a bright, energizing, focusing effect or a gentle, calming one. For late evenings, we usually recommend white tea, mild oolongs, or a cooler, shorter brewing time.

Each bestseller comes with its own brewing guide, specifying grams, temperature, brewing time, and number of infusions. As a general rule, use slightly cooler water and shorter brewing times to gradually work your way up to your preferred strength. It's important to pour off all the water so the leaves don't continue to steep. This keeps the cup clear and balanced, allowing you to enjoy multiple infusions.
