SEBASTIAN'S CHOICE

The teas in this section are ones that I find interesting and somehow compelling. They will range from well-made examples of well-known teas to obscure teas available in limited quantities. A few will be available regularly and others sporadically. Small lots will disappear quickly so check in often or watch our teatips for announcements!
