TEA ACCESSORY WE LOVE:
Beautiful glassware has been gaining popularity among tea lovers recently. Their use is becoming more popular and they have become a fashionable tool in sophisticated tea groups. Instead of cheap mass-produced glassware, they are now a quality teaware, both in shape and material, just as they were once highly valued in the old days. The first glass utensils came to Song-era China from the Islamic empires of the Middle East and were considered precious and magical objects by wealthy Chinese. Thanks to the Song Dynasty’s continued prosperity, its beauty and glamour made glass a fashionable item. This cup is also a unique and decorative piece, in which the tea looks particularly beautiful, as if you were holding a jewel in your hand. CHECK IN THE WEBSHOP >>

Every tea connoisseur has their own favorite tea. But there is always something new to discover. Each tea has its own special aroma and effect, depending on the respective growing area, the vintage and the type of processing. Find your new favorites in our online shop today! As tea enthusiasts and sommeliers we taste every tea we offer in our shop. To help you in your exploration we aim to present a meaningful description for each tea, as well as our suggestion how best to brew it.
Get to know the world of teas online!
With our tea range you will get to know the most diverse tea regions and tea types. You can simply search for your favourite chinese or japanese green tea, Taiwan oolong or Yunnan puerh tea in our online shop. We also offer you a wide selection of Matcha tea sourced from reputed Japanese producers. Matcha is the ‘greenest green tea’, the only tea drunk whole when dissolved in water. Of course, our tea selection also includes rare and special teas like wuyi oolongs, phoenix mountain dancongs, old white teas, liu bao heicha or award-winning gyokuro teas.
Each tea region has its own characteristic “signature” tea types, such as the Long Jing of Hangzhou, Bai Hao Yinzhen of Fuding, Bi Luo Chun of Jiangsu, Huangshan Maofeng of Anhui, Tie Guan Yin of Anxi, High Mountain Oolong of Alishan and Uji Sencha from Kyoto. But there are also lesser known varieties only produced in small quantities at specific tea mountains or villages. We regularly travel to these remote tea gardens to bring you these specialties, so you will always find something new to try at Flying Bird Tea.
