Stash Christmas Morning Tea
Our Christmas Morning tea was created specially for the holidays by our master blenders. Some of the very best teas from around the world were hand selected for this truly exquisite blend. Each tea adds its distinctive flavor notes -- Indian Assam imparts a malty flavor, the Formosa Oolong adds bright, fruity flavor notes, the China Keemun a hint of smokiness, our First Flush Darjeeling adds a flowery note, theYunnan and Nilgiri add richness, and the Jasmine imparts a lingering, sweet fragrance.

The best Assam teas from India are known for their malty character. The climate, the soil, and the indigenous tea plants genetic make-up give Assam teas their characteristic full-bodied strong taste and dark liquor. Our Golden-Tipped Assam from the renowned Budlabeta Estate has a very distinctive malty flavor. The abundant golden tips are a result of the tiny fresh tips (plucked when the tea is most tender) turning a distinctive golden color during the oxidation process.

Some of the world's finest teas are grown in Taiwan which enjoys an excellent climate for growing tea. Summers are very humid but not too hot, and winter temperatures rarely drop as low as 50 degrees. Our Fancy Formosa Oolong has an aroma and taste like no other tea. The long twisted leaves, a mix of brown, black and red with flecks of green and silver, turn a rich copper color as they steep. This tea has a delicate but lush flavor, with a lingering aftertaste.

Nilgiri is a Tamil word that means "Blue Mountains". The Blue Mountains are a lush range at the southernmost tip of India, rising over the Indian Ocean with a view toward Africa. It is a land of peaks and valleys lush with vegetation and teeming with wildlife, most notably elephants. Our Nilgiri is full bodied and light in color and aroma.

Keemun tea is named after the Quimen precinct in southern Anhui province. Keemun Hao Ya is the finest grade of this famous tea and is produced with the utmost skill. "Hao Ya" means "tippy bud" in Chinese and refers to the leaves with the best appearance. These narrow, tightly twisted black leaves brew a brilliant golden-red cup and add a lush, fruity, sweet flavor and a hint of smokiness.

Tucked away in Northeast India at an elevation of 6500 feet, Darjeeling is a small resort town. Its breathtaking views allow the eye to travel from the scorching plains below, upward over a succession of mountains that culminate with the mighty Kanchenjunga, almost as high as Everest. Darjeeling teas from India are considered the rarest and most prestigious of black teas. Our TGFOP first flush Darjeeling possesses a flowery bouquet, a Muscat flavor and a mellow quality, characteristics that the best Darjeelings are renowned for.

Yunnan is an ancient province in southwestern China which borders Vietnam, Laos and Burma. This cloudy, misty, mountainous province has grown tea for 1700 years. The "yun" in Yunnan means "cloud" and most tea in Yunnan is grown at elevations of three thousand to seven thousand feet. Yunnan leads all other Chinese provinces in black tea production and is known for its broad, glossy, tippy leaves. Our China Yunnan FOP has golden buds and produces a fine golden liquor and a full, round lingering taste.

China produces different quality grades of Jasmine green tea with the finest named Yin Hao. Our Jasmine Yin Hao has downy tips and most of the spent jasmine blossoms have been removed. The flowers are completely dry and contain no more aroma, they add only visual appeal and are no indication of the quality of the tea. This tea has an intoxicating aroma and a delicate flavor.

All of these tea leaves have been perfectly orchestrated for this beautiful blend. Our Christmas Morning blend makes a very special gift. This tea may be enjoyed anytime of the day, but makes an especially rich morning cup.

Wishing you the merriest of holidays and best wishes for a bright new year from all of us at Stash Tea!
