Spirit Tea-Morning Mist

Spirit Tea is dedicated to preserving the integrity of tea from cultivation to preparation, infusion, and experience. They believe in tea- that a great cup is the result of passion and relationships. From their home in Chicago, Sprit Teas has dedicated itself to connecting expert cultivators in countries of origin to the passionate industry professionals who serve their handiwork.

Guizhou, a province caped with subtropical mists, is one of the most biodiverse provinces in southwestern China, home to a rich landscape of flora and fauna. Plucked from the Yunnan-Guizhou plateau, Morning Mist is a humble homage to Fujian-style teas, named for the altitude’s gentle shroud on the leaves. Reflecting its pan-fired processing, the aroma of the leaves evoke winter melon and watercress. Subtly sweet, lightly vegetal, and extremely forgiving, this tea can be enjoyed with any style brew, even sipped “old-granddad” style with the leaves directly in your cup. Notes of Granny Smith apple, sweet corn, and white pepper.
