  • MAKAIBARI AUTUMNAL

    "Makaibari 1st and 2nd get all the attention, but Makaibari Autumnal is one of my favorites!  I like a strong tea, but for those who need to add milk, Autumnal is perfectly fine with that.  A delicious Darjeeling!"

    Diane M.

  • WHITE BLOSSOM GREEN

    “One of my classic favorites. I've been drinking this tea for years. It has the odd effect of putting me in good mood more than the other green or white teas. Also, it re-steeps very well giving you more bang for your buck. Highly recommend.”

    Maria I.

  • MOONLIGHT & MELON

    “Never had a tea like this before!  The aroma is amazing.”
