Blue Willow Teaspot

2020 ASATSUTU ORGANIC just arrived today!!! Making it 20% off until midnight, for all you die-hard fans who've been waiting so patiently

HEADS UP! you can now pre-order some of our most popular spring teas on the website. They'll be arriving late April through May and you'll be first in line to get em! Plus, it's a great way to help us fund inventory purchases since we had to close the shop and have seen a massive reduction in Wholesale orders, which usually fund these purchases. As new arrival dates become more clear I'll add more pre-order options for you! . The spring samples are flowing in and it's giving me life right now! What kinds of new tea would you like us to carry this year? I can't bring in as many new ones as I'd like, but will definitely take your wishes into consideration!!!

See y'all this Friday!!!

Just a few seconds of leaf sexiness for your viewing pleasure

Don’t forget, we’re open every day of the week to take care of you! Even while I’m gone there’s a spectacular team of tea wizards at the shop to guide you on your tea quest.

Heaven is a place on earth

Enjoying some of that Menghai Ba Ba Ching Sheng cake. Probably the only time in my life I’ll get to taste some of this incredibly aged 1988 cake of fame. #sheng #shengpuerh #puerh #yunnantea #whatsinyourcup #teatime #tealover #teaaddict #teatravels #agedtea #teadrunk

ZOOM IN!!! This is the Bee Immortal tree in Manjing. You will see it is covered with bee hives. This is an Animist village and each year when 70% of the bees return to this tree they know it is time for the tea to flush and the new year is celebrated. I caught the celebration last year but was a little too late this year. Spending time with this tree is indescribable. There is so much that is not understood about the way this world works, but I’m becoming more ok with the unknowing, which is very liberating. A rant by ali.

Sorry for the radio silence... been admiring old growth tea trees in the Jingmai mountains in Yunnan but I’ll start posting photos now!
