Seasonal Teas from Teance


Teance is a local tea company from Berkeley, California, established to introduce true artisan teas.

Fresh, seasonal, handcrafted teas are personally selected from mountains of origin in Asia.

These single lots, unblended teas are showcased for their nuanced and complex tastes, reflecting

the climates in which they are grown. Each season, buyers from Teance travel to boutique, often

remote, high mountain farms, to taste and select these limited batches for our community and

tea aficionados.


Enjoy these following recently harvested, fresh Spring teas:




White Peony Longevity Brows (White tea from Fujian, China)

Full of silver, whole buds, and lush green leaves. Named after the beautiful peony flower for the

highest grade, the plucked buds somewhat resemble a large silver eyebrow shape. One of the

most highly regarded and the most popular of all White Teas, White Peony is alternately sun

dried, then indoor hot air dried for natural processing. Its brew is slightly sweet and melon like,

with a bright, fresh lingering after taste. Low Caffeine.
