Katie and KC Chen and their families have been growing and making teas for generations. Now the family leads the way in organic farming in Taiwan. Read about them in our feature article.
Dear Friends
DBC

This is our first newsletter in quite some time. Mostly, that's a good thing as we've been busy making changes at the shop, to our website, to this newsletter  and, most importantly, to the range of teas we carry.  Indeed, as you read this I am in China and Taiwan concluding the most recent offerings of our artisanal teas from our growers and producers.

If you find yourself in the Napa area, drop into the Oxbow Public Market, have  cup of tea and say hello. If you shop online, please check out our enhanced web site and new array of teas and teaware . These make wonderful gifts for the holiday season!

Warm wishes to you all,

Brewing Suggestions:

Use between 3-5 grams of tea, about a teaspoon.  Pour water between 195° - 205° over the leaves and steep for 2 to 3 minutes.  Always remember to adjust steeping time depending on water temperature, amount of tea you have and personal flavor preference.  Increase time and temperature slightly with each infusion.
