Pro tip: Taiwan's mountain craft meets India's Himalayan green — three teas that share a border only in the cup.

The East Meets East Collection Story

Two of Asia's great tea traditions - one set, three expressions.

Himalayan Mountain Green

From Meghalaya's Ri Bhoi Hills, where gooseberry shade and cool elevation produce a green tea with delicate sweetness and a honey-tinged finish. India's Himalayan green — clean, bright, the starting point.

Alishan High Mountain Oolong

Above 1,000 meters in Taiwan's Alishan range, slow-growing leaves develop a creamy, buttery body with floral sweetness and a gentle lingering finish. The oolong that defines high mountain character.

Roasted Alishan Oolong

The same Alishan terroir, passed through fire. Toasty, velvety, caramelized — warmth that settles into a long and satisfying finish. Same origin, different expression. Three teas. Two countries. One conversation between traditions.

Map of Taiwan highlighting Alishan

Alishan's misty peaks at 2,200m create slow-growing tea with a signature buttery sweetness and floral lift.

Tea terraces at 1,400 meters in Taiwan's Alishan range — where cool mist and slow growth produce some of the world's finest oolongs.

Each batch is hand-rolled and lightly oxidized to preserve its delicate floral character, then cupped before it leaves the mountain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Three single-origin teas from two countries — Himalayan Mountain Green from Meghalaya, India, Alishan High Mountain Oolong from Taiwan, and Roasted Alishan Oolong from Taiwan. Two tea traditions, one curated set.
Start with the Himalayan Green for a clean, bright baseline. Move to the Alishan Oolong for creamy, floral mountain character. Finish with the Roasted Alishan to experience what fire does to the same leaf. Any order works, but this sequence tells the best story.
The green is delicate — 80°C, 2–3 minutes. The Alishan Oolong brews at 90–95°C for 4 minutes and re-steeps beautifully. The Roasted Alishan rewards short steeps — 95°C, 1 minute first, adding 15 seconds each round. Brew cards are included.
Each tube is 75g, giving you roughly 90 cups across all three teas. Both oolongs re-steep 4–5 times, so the actual count is often higher.
It's built for gifting. Two countries, three teas, a clear tasting arc — it tells a cross-cultural story without the person needing to know anything about tea.
Mountain Mist is a deep dive into Taiwan — three oolongs from the same mountain range. East Meets East bridges two countries — India and Taiwan — showing how different traditions produce teas that complement each other beautifully.
Yes, moderate caffeine — less than black tea but more than green. Most people find it perfect for afternoon drinking without affecting sleep.
Same tea, different finish. Regular Alishan is lightly oxidized — floral and creamy. Roasted Alishan is slowly baked over low heat for hours, transforming those florals into toasty depth, honeyed warmth, and a caramel-like sweetness.
Yes, green tea contains caffeine, though less than black tea or coffee. Best enjoyed morning through afternoon.
