Good tea is a gift that works right away: open, brew \u2014 and the evening gets better. You don\u2019t need to know anyone\u2019s size or favourite colour. It\u2019s enough to know what they like to drink, and we\u2019ll help with the rest.<\/p>\n

Which tea for whom?<\/h2>\n

For someone just starting out.<\/strong> Gentle white tea: Shou Mei<\/a> is soft, sweetish and forgives brewing mistakes, while White Peony<\/a> is the classic compromise between delicacy and character. Both are easy to love from the first cup.<\/p>\n

For the aesthete.<\/strong> Silver Needle<\/a> \u2014 nothing but silvery buds, the \u201cwhitest\u201d of the whites. This gift looks beautiful before it even reaches the gaiwan.<\/p>\n

For the \u201cstrong black tea\u201d person.<\/strong> Red Golden Monkey<\/a> \u2014 dense, honeyed, without bitterness. The shortest road from a teabag to the Chinese tea world.<\/p>\n

For someone who has everything.<\/strong> Yellow bud tea<\/a> is a rarity even in China, and dark Liu Pu<\/a> matures over the years like good wine. These are teas people tell stories about.<\/p>\n

\"Zen
Gift set: tea and cups in one box<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ready-made gift sets \u2014 when you don\u2019t want to guess<\/h2>\n

In our shop you\u2019ll find gift sets<\/a>: tea plus ceramics, composed and ready to hand over. Three variants, each complete on its own \u2014 nothing else to buy.<\/p>\n

Teaware: a gift for years<\/h2>\n

Tea runs out; a gaiwan<\/a> stays. Cups, teapots and travel sets<\/a> for those who like to brew away from home will remind them of you with every use.<\/p>\n

\"Zen
Travel set: the whole ceremony in one bag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A gift experience: the tea ceremony<\/h2>\n

Instead of a thing \u2014 an evening together. The tea ceremony<\/a> at our shop is a guided tasting of several teas in a group of up to 5 people (100 z\u0142 per person, and every participant takes home 5 g of each tea tasted). You can also book the whole session privately \u2014 for a birthday, an anniversary, or simply a good evening for two.<\/p>\n

How much tea to give?<\/h2>\n

Our tea is sold by weight from 10 g<\/a>, so it\u2019s easy to build your own tasting set: three or four teas, 20\u201330 g each, instead of one big pack. The person you\u2019re gifting will try different styles and find \u201ctheirs\u201d. And if you know what they drink \u2014 50\u2013100 g is a good month of daily brewing.<\/p>\n

No need to choose blindly: drop by aleja Grunwaldzka 69 in Gda\u0144sk or write to us \u2014 we\u2019ll help match the gift to the person, the occasion and the budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
