Old faithful is definitely the most fitting name for this tea. My go-to recurring purchase. It is the most bulletproof tea I’ve tried across 10+ varieties. Such an incredible mouthfeel and a perfect balance of flavor to let you know something is there without being overpowering. When brewed it’s this beautiful golden liquid, just such a pleasure to drink everyday.

The sweet and floral aromatics float over a brothy and buttery cup with the savory quality of open fire cooking. The salty/turmeric character has a stone, mineral finish. Heavy in its heartiness, the sophisticated design of primitive elements.
Produced April 25, 2026 by our friend Mr. Soup in Xin Xu Town, Hua’an County, Fujian Province. It’s a one bud, three leaf pick of the Tieguanyin cultivar growing at approximately 2,400 feet.
