Is your tea style rooted in time-honored tradition, or are you all about flavor-forward blends with a wellness twist? In the vibrant world of loose-leaf tea, the line between traditional and trendy has never been more fun—or more divisive. At Tea Market, we carry teas for both purists and pioneers. Let’s dive into both sides of the kettle.
🍃 The Traditionalists: Steeped in Legacy
Traditional tea lovers value origin, authenticity, and craftsmanship. Their favorite teas are often unflavored, single-origin, and handled with care through ancient methods.
Tea: Dragon Well (Longjing) A legendary Chinese green tea with a slightly nutty, toasty flavor and beautiful flat leaves. Revered for centuries.
Tea: Darjeeling ften called the “Champagne of Teas,” this delicate black tea hails from India’s Himalayan foothills and offers floral, muscatel notes.
Tea: High Grade Sencha This vibrant Japanese green tea delivers grassy umami flavor and is central to mindful tea rituals in Japanese culture.

✔️ You prefer minimal processing and no added flavors
✔️ You find peace in ceremony and ritual
