True Tea, Whole Leaf, Black Tea, Hong Cha is what we are offering.
Sometimes the ordinary conceals true treasure. For decades, teabag manufacturers have maltreated black tea, depriving us of its authentic essence and the range of rich flavours that make our days brighter.
No need for sugar and milk, a perfect replacement for your cup of coffee. Less caffeine, less jitters and friendlier on your digestion and sleep, try our Wells One black tea!
We do not blend our teas; you will receive leaves from the same mountain, harvest, and processing batch. Because our farmers do not use pesticides, we can enjoy the health benefits of tea. This is part of a larger plan in Yunnan to make the tea industry more environmentally friendly. The government's green initiative began in 2016, and most places in transition should get organic certification within a few years. It is hard and takes time to achieve certification.
Every teahead remembers the one tea when it all came together, taste, ceremony and inner peace. For me that was an inexpensive black tea from Yunnan, a province in China; famously known as the home of puerh tea. I call this tea, the tea which opened doors for me Wells One. A name that works in so many ways for my tea journey. I want to share this journey and this tea with you and I have imported a few kilograms, packaged in eight gram pouches for us to enjoy.
This tea is for starting your tea journey, as much as for deepening your tea understanding. I find Wells One a very forgiving tea that helps with exploring Gong Fu Cha, the art of tea. It is an inexpensive tea to experiment with, our variables are tea to water ratio, water temperature and infusion time. Changing brewing parameters to play with aroma and taste makes us smile. I have experimented with cold brewing, gaiwan brewing, teapot brewing and even Hong Kong golden milk tea brewing using Wells One black tea and it never disappointed me. Getting to know one tea well has given me a baseline for my tea practice, something to compare other teas to and something to compare brewing methods with.
Falling into tea leaves,
wet and warm.
Emerging from the cloud as fledgling raindrop.
Heaven's harvest feeding growth, large and small.
Reflection of the universe in a gaiwan.
Man made lid and bowl,
key and door.
Deep the well that answers you.
Green, fragrant and friend to all.
