August 2024 Tea Offerings & News

Happy August, tea lovers!

Our fresh 2024 teas have arrived!

One of our most popular teas, Classic Laoshan Black, is back in stock. This is a personal favorite of mine, and if you haven't tried it already, I highly recommend it. (Please note that Classic Laoshan Black will be featured in our September subscription boxes.)

For August, we have the fresh 2024 Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, a very tasty straight black tea with notes of sweet dark chocolate.

Tropical Hibiscus, Nana's Blueberry, and Rose Chamomile are all new herbal teas from North America's most-awarded tea company.

We've got something special for the Pure Tea Box subscribers this month. Everest Black is a delicious Nepalese tea that comes from the highest tea farm on the planet. The high elevations and intense climate allow for slower growth, resulting in unique, complex, and wonderful flavors.

Earl Grey Lavender has also been one of our best sellers for many years!

As we enter the fall season, we have a lot of great teas coming your way!

Happy Sipping!

Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong

Although often heavily smoked and used to make Lapsang Souchong, this Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong (“Wu Yi Mountain Small Tea Plant”) is processed in the traditional style of black tea and has notes of dark chocolate with a surprisingly sweet finish.

Great black teas like this one don’t require additives like milk and sugar to enhance their deliciousness, as their sophisticated and enigmatic personalities sing harmoniously on their own.

Spring 2024 Harvest.

Ingredients: Black tea.
Origin: Fujian, China
Caffeine: MED-HIGH



Everest Black

Taste the highest point of the Earth with this very special offering.

Harvested from from Nepal's Bhakanje Tea Estate, the highest elevation tea farm on the planet, Everest Black’s intense climate allows for slower growth. This process allows the tea to develop more unique, complex, and wonderful flavors. Higher elevation teas also benefit from clean water, fewer pests, nutrient-rich soil, and better quality sunlight. In the end, this tea produces a vibrant brew of fresh eucalyptus and sweet honey notes. 

All these things combined create a blend that's truly on top of the world!

Ingredients: Black tea.
Origin: Solukhumbu region, Nepal
Caffeine: MED-HIGH



Earl Grey Lavender

Earl Grey Lavender is a welcoming twist on the classic Earl Grey tea.

This Earl Grey is made up of organic Chinese black tea, Italian bergamot pressed from real fruit, and organic lavender blossoms from Greece.

The practice of adding lavender to Earl Grey tea dates back to the 17th century, creating a wonderful tea.

Earl Grey Lavender is one of our most popular teas!

The specially selected leaves of this tea yield low tannins ensuring a smooth but bold cup of tea.

Try it with some milk for a traditional cup, but its silky enough to enjoy on its own.

This beautiful black tea is grown in the fresh mountain air, brilliant sunshine and abundant rainfalls of the southern Sri Lanka.

Kanchanjangha Verde

Kanchanjangha tea estate is nestled in the foothills of Mt. Kanchenjanga, the third highest mountain in the world, in the eastern part of Nepal.

This fine green tea is mellow, smooth and pleasing to drink. Begin searching for floral notes followed by soft grass and finishing with a hint of sweet ground nuts.

This tea is an excellent tea to re-steep many times.

Imperial Grade Silver Needles

Silver Needles are among one of China's most famous and most prized teas. Only the first flush top buds are picked from the plant very early in the season, giving special care not to cause any damage or breakage to the bud. They are then dried in the sun.

Silver Needles are a very pure form of tea with little to no oxidation. It produces a lovely cup of very lightly colored tea, with a gorgeous array of sweet and subtle flavors.

We love enjoying this beautiful white tea in the early afternoon.
