DIGEST | Persimmons
Persimmons are just pretty great. They look good, they last a while (decorations can’t go bad in a day or two), and when they’ve ripened they taste good, too. This year, we dried a lot of them in our tiny New York City tearoom to share with our guests. Read about our journey here!

What is Dong Ding Oolong
One of the most popular Taiwanese teas and it’s a classic for good reason - Dong Ding is a tea that retains the mellow green flavors of a high-mountain oolong along with rich, sweet notes due to oxidation and roasting. It’s well-balanced and makes a perfect tea to enjoy throughout the day.

What is Milk Oolong
Milk Oolong is a distinctive type of Taiwanese oolong tea known for its creamy flavor and texture. It's lightly oxidized and roasted, which helps retain the delicate floral aroma and creamy flavor.
