Thanks to Louise Cummins at Jing Teas, I received a nice little package of teas the other day. Louise was gracious enough to send samples of these wonderful teas; Jing Anhui Green (green tea), High Mountain Dark Roast (oolong tea) & White Peony (white tea). They all look fantastic and I can’t wait to try them all and share them with friends through the holidays.

To preserve their freshness, they all arrived in vacuum seal foil packages. I don’t see this often and would love to see more loose tea companies try it. When you first open a pack, and the air seeps in, there is a wonderful aroma that rushes back out at you.

Jing Tea is based in the UK. If you live in europe and are looking for some great fresh teas, give JingTea.co.uk a try. They have a great selection of loose teas and tea ware. Their site is also tied into the Journal of Chinese Medicine so you can find a lot of great information on the health benefits of teas and other natural herbs.
