For finest taste, tea should be stored in a place that is cool and dry.

What are the “roots” of Rooteas?
Family-made
Our teas all come from tea-making families. Some are made by our own family, and others are crafted by families we've known and trusted for years. Not from an unknown source, but from real people and family producers whose craft we trust and have seen in person.
Single-origin
It means you can actually taste where the tea comes from. It stays true to its own place, so the local soil, rocks, and climate all come through in the cup. With Wuyi rock oolong, you get that clear rock rhythm (Yan Yun) and a deep, lingering fragrance that only those rocky slopes can give. When you drink it, you're not just having a cup of tea, you're getting a small snapshot of that landscape.
Transparency
We like to keep things honest and simple. When we share a tea, we share all the detailed information too, so you always know what you're drinking. We'd love to be the trusted tea partner you can turn to.

As a top-tier black tea, Jin Jun Mei is most famous for its incredibly rich taste. The tea soup is golden, as inviting as honey water. Take a sip, and first, you'll notice wild floral notes spreading instantly in your mouth. That deep, full feel is like sipping a fine aged wine. Then, a gentle sweetness rises in your throat. When the flavor stays on your palate you may catch a roasted sweet potato note. The complex flavor combines the sweet smoothness of black tea with the floral charm of oolong and green tea's fresh taste. All these tastes blend wonderfully, creating a truly delightful surprise.
