dynasTEA continues the 3,000-year-old tradition of tea drinking by offering a full spectrum of whole-leaf teas specially selected by shop owner May Hung. Most of these teasóparticularly the rare oolongsóhail from the Fujian Province of southern China. From gentle flower teas to the strongest of black teas, dynasTEA offers something for every taste and preference.
All tea, whether black, green, or oolong, comes from the same species of tea plant: Camellia sinensis. Their differences are a result of the type of processing the leaves undergo after they have been plucked.
BLACK TEA is 100% fermented, resulting in a dark, full-bodied brew. Our black teas range from fruity Lychee Black to smooth Keemun to smoky Lapsang Souchong. And be sure to try Mayís special blend, Rose Black, which contains miniature rosebuds.
Semifermented OOLONG TEA offers the greatest range of flavor, from floral ìgreenî varieties like Tiguanyin to darker, toastier brews like Orchid Oolong. DynasTEAís rare oolongs, such as Scarlet Robe and Ru Gui, offer a deeply satisfying smoothness and complexity.
A traditional favorite in China, PUERH TEA is growing in popularity in the West due to its medicinal qualities. The earthy flavor of the dark liquor has earned it the nickname ìdirt tea.î DynasTEA carries both aged puerh and a good everyday puerh, Tuo Cha.
High in antioxidants, GREEN TEA is processed without fermentation for a fresh, ìjust-pickedî flavor. Our choices range from vegetal Green Snail Spring and visually pleasing Sunrise Green to full-bodied Jasmine. Be sure to try our recent arrivalóthis springís Dragonwell, which was picked and processed on the same day for ultimate freshness.
WHITE TEA is a gentle, mildly caffeinated tea that brews to a yellow liquor. Our selection ranges from the ethereal Silver Needle to the more rustic Shao Mei.
Our FLOWER TEA does not contain tea leaves, hence is not caffeinated. Many of our floral varieties have purported health benefits. Hinting of apricot, Gui Hua is said to promote kidney health. Medicinal Chrysanthemum is good for sore throat and itchy eyes. And fragrant Rose Tea has calming and cooling properties.
DynasTEA also carries a selection of traditional yi xing TEAPOTS, lidded serving cups known as GAI WAN, TEA CUPS, and a range of ACCESSORIES, including canisters, strainers, and scoops.
