A blend of three teas (Green Sencha, Dragon Well, and White Pai Mu Tan) with real pieces of passionfruit, pineapple, and strawberry mixed through it. The cup runs a bright yellow, grassy at the base from the sencha and Dragon Well, softened by the White Pai Mu Tan into something with a rounder, velvety texture. Look for lemon, honey, and a faint trace of liquorice alongside the fruit, with cinnamon showing up in the finish.
Dragon Well carries real history of its own: the variety has been made in the village of Longjing since the Qing Dynasty, where dragons were considered a sign of good fortune and long life. That association carried into marriage traditions in China, where offering a cup stood for a lasting bond. Angels Kiss draws on that legacy while taking the flavour in a fruitier direction.
Caffeine comes naturally from the green and white teas in the blend, typically 15 to 30 mg per cup, noticeably less than black tea, so it works well as a lighter afternoon cup rather than a heavy morning one.
To brew, use one teaspoon per cup with water cooled to 80-90°C, then steep for two to three minutes. It takes well to a slice of lemon, or to honey and cinnamon stirred in, and holds up over ice in warmer weather. Store it in a cool, dark spot in an airtight container to keep the fruit notes from fading.
