Four single-bush whites picked between March 28 and April 11 — pre-Qingming Yinzhen, two Fuding moonlights, one wild-tree White from Yunnan. Four 5-gram pouches, a printed brew guide, and a paper card naming each farmer. One box per person per quarter — that's the rule we set for ourselves.

04 questions · 04 answersHow is this free?
We absorb the leaf cost ourselves — it's a small slice of our marketing budget. You cover shipping at our broker's actual rate.
Why only one per quarter?
Because we want this to reach as many newcomers as possible. The quota resets every three months, on the equinox or solstice nearest.
What if I love it?
Each tea in the sample box has a name and a link to its origin — they're all sold by gram on shop.thetea.app or shop.puerh.app.
What about charity drops?
Farm-led drops are different — there, 100% of contributions go directly to the farm, with a per-cent breakdown we publish on each drop page.
