Ingredients
100% Taiwanese Oolong Tea
Black Pearl is a charcoal roasted Taiwanese Oolong. It is similar to Eventide, if you are familiar with that tea. Oolong teas, like Black Pearl, are traditionally brewed multiple times to enjoy the changing flavor profile of each infusion. Oolongs are prized teas among connoisseurs because they are the mature leaves of the tea shrub, rather than the fresh new buds that become all other types of tea, white, green, yellow, and black. It’s because of this layered flavor and size that multiple infusions are recommended for balled oolongs for a full flavor experience. Reinfusing oolong teas is a delightful experience that I hope you try. You will notice that the leaves unfurl further with each subsequent infusion and release slightly different flavor. Balled oolongs can be reinfused up to 4 times.
Rare leaves are uncommon single estate teas.
Like precious gems, these teas are carefully selected for their exceptional beauty and flavor. Each tea is hand picked and finished to produce the most exquisite tea experience.
The Rare Leaves Tin
The most precious tea requires the most robust protection. Rare Leaves are packed in the ultimate tea caddy: CNC milled from a solid block of aluminum. They are airtight, light tight, and recyclable. They are delivered in a sleek gift box with a magnetic closure.
Final sale: Rare Leaves are excluded from the money back guarantee due to the high cost of producing this tea.

Each product lists its own specifics in the Details tab above. A few cozy rules of thumb by category:
- Apparel: wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle. Lay flat or hang to dry, and steam rather than iron.
- Home pieces: spot-clean or wipe down unless the label says otherwise; keep away from prolonged direct sun.
- Candles: trim the wick to ~¼" before each burn, keep the first burn going until the top melts evenly, and never leave a flame unattended.
- Teas: store in a cool, dry spot away from light to keep them fresh and fragrant.
Treated kindly, these little comforts last well beyond their first season.
