Want to see a beautiful website? Want to have an amazing immersive experience both online and in your tea-space at home? Look no farther than
Four Seasons Tea, which has got to be, hands down, the prettiest website around. And the quality of the teas (thus far in my limited experience,) matches the intention and design of the whole enterprise. Every time I get to sip one of their teas, I want to try more, I feel intuitively that I have stumbled upon a source of great value, both monetarily in that I can afford their offerings and in the love and care the owner/s must feel about their chosen profession in the world of cha.
The tea cake linked
here has got to be one of the best teas I have ever tasted, and I am told it will age beautifully, not only by the sellers but by other tea-heads who are familiar with it.
Fuding Bai Hao white Tea Cake, aged four years is not only a gorgeous looking cake, full of lovely colors, it also, right out of the package tastes amazing.
The leaves, much like a good Liu Bao are crisp, thin and hold their density and texture even when wet, the scent is floral but in a muted, subtle way. The tea reminds me of both a Liu Bao and an Oriental Beauty in its complexity, softness and taste. Silky, buttery on the tongue, it is just such a winner. I am going to buy a second cake of it just to store for I know that as large as this cake is there is no way I wont be drinking it all this summer! If a whole cake isn't for you, four Season tea's offers a decent sized sample of 25 grams for under $7.00! All I had to do was try that sample and I got online and bought more. Yes, it is THAT good.
Do it. Be it. Feel it.
