If you love a good cup of tea, or are looking for a refreshing gift, this tea sampler is for you.

Here are nine kind of teas selected by Hong Kong’s MingCha – the acclaimed, award-winning brand for authentic Chinese tea.

Included in the set are premium grade and gourmet teas, including Jasmine Blossoms, Teguanyin Supreme, Green Oolong, Teguanyin Classic, Wuyi Supreme, and the brand’s champion-winning Menghai Tippy Puer.

With its fragrant and flavorful teas, Ming Cha has been called one of “The World’s Best Tea Shops” by Food & Wine — and holds the honor of being the first Hong Kong product to be included in the Academy Awards’ celebrity gift baskets.

As MingCha’s founder Vivian Mak says: “A great tea should leave you with an impression of its appearance, aroma, taste and after-taste. You need to get in touch with it in order to understand it. It is really like a date. You need to explore it and to experience it.”

We’re big fans of this tea. All we can say is it’s love at first taste.
