Steep New Estate Teas

Are you as excited as we are for the beautiful spring weather? It feels like a sense of great renewal and rejuvenation coming our way, and along with it.... these five wonderful single origin, pure, estate teas from Fujian, Yunnan and Sichuan Province, China new to the estate wall in Westholme's Teashop and online Teashop .... 

Quanzhou Milk Oolong 

Tasting Notes :: Creamy, condensed milk on the nose creates a comforting invitation; a sweetness reminiscent of a fresh homemade flan. The cup begins delicately, with a rich, velvety smoothness that rounds into a buttery profile with notes of orchid and lychee. What is left behind in the cup after the last sip is the scent of cherry wood and caramelized sugar. We recommend rinsing the tea leaves and enjoying 1-3 steeps from one pot.

Wuyi Rock Oolong

Tasting Notes :: The cup begins straightforward with a rich woodsy smoothness that rounds into a delicate citrus profile, lending to its unique, subtropical terroir. A scent of burnt sugar remains in the empty cup. We recommend rinsing the tea leaves and enjoying 1-3 steeps, increasing the water temperature gradually with each new steep.

Pearl Drop Morning Dew

Tasting Notes :: The nose emanates a refreshing, natural floral sweetness that reminds the senses of fresh morning air. The cup begins with a light grassiness and refreshing floral sweetness. The delicately vegetal notes of this tea round into silky lemongrass. What is left behind in the cup after the last sip is the scent of fresh melon. We recommend enjoying 1-3 steeps from one pot, hot or cold using the cold brewing method. A lovely green tea.

Monkey Eye Jade

Tasting Notes :: The delicately floral, honey syrup notes of this tea round into rich cornbread. What is left behind in the cup after the last sip is the scent of sweet plum. We recommend enjoying 1-3 steeps from one pot, hot or cold using the cold brewing method. 

Golden Pu-er, Aged 5 Years

Tasting Notes :: The nose provides a comforting aroma of freshly rolled pretzel dough. Beginning with a light sweetness of warm earth, the damp leaf feel in the mouth creates a doughy smoothness reminiscent of a warm sun soaked day in the garden after a rain. What is left behind in the cup after the last sip is the hint of cinnamon baked into an apple fritter. We recommend enjoying multiple steeps from one pot.
