Tightly rolled green pearls with subtle ivory petals. Aromas of citrus blossom, fresh gardenia, and light honey.

Liquor:
Pale honey-gold, clear and elegantly radiant.

First Round:
Bright pomelo flower aroma leads the cup. Clean citrus sweetness opens the palate, supported by a silky base.

Second Round:
Floral notes deepen into orchid and honeysuckle. Mouthfeel becomes smoother and sweeter, with gentle herbal tones.

Third Round:
Balanced and refined. Delicate citrus-cream, soft orchid, and lingering floral herbal finish provide a gentle yet memorable finale.

About our Partnerships

Communitea is committed to not white labeling. We are apart of each others stories. The teas our partners provide us with are the product of their hard work and commitment to community. We commit to fair pricing that respects their margins and also allows us to provide for our workers and programs in the US to continue the work.

The Wang Family

The Wang Family (brother and sister owners Josh and Ivy) have been farming and producing tea for four generations in Taiwan. They take pride in their traditional and sustainable farming practices that have been passed down through the generations; they believe in letting nature do its work, rather than relying on chemicals or other modern farming techniques. 

By working alongside nature, they ensure that the unique characteristics and flavors of Taiwan's beautiful terroir are preserved in each cup of tea.

Another important aspect of their tea production is their use of traditional charcoal roasting.  Unlike most modern tea roasters that use electricity or gas, they use high-quality longan wood charcoal sourced from a local renewable forest.  The charcoal tea roasting process is a delicate task that requires skilled hands, patience, and a keen sense for the fire. 

Partnership with Communitea

Our partnership with Wang Family Tea is built on shared roots—growing tea and growing community. As they cultivate sustainable, generational farming and tea education in Taiwan, we cultivate education, opportunity, and connection between our communities and theirs. Together, we create pathways for our communities to learn with and from one another through cross-cultural exchanges and community-based education—funded directly through every cup of Communitea.
