Tiesta Tea Single Origin Tea Sampler — 7 Loose-Leaf Dry Flight Pouches, Resealable Tasting Set

Tiesta Tea’s Single Origin Tea Sampler is a curated set of seven loose-leaf teas—Assam, Ceylon Orange Pekoe, First Flush Darjeeling, Jasmine Pearls, Japanese Sencha, Milk Oolong, and Silver Needle—each in resealable sample pouches for tasting and brewing at home.

Explore seven distinct terroirs and processing styles in one compact collection. This dry flight of single-origin teas is designed for people who want to compare pure expressions of popular tea regions and leaf types without committing to full-size tins. Each pouch yields approximately 4–8 cups, and resealable packaging keeps leaves fresher between brews.

How do these single-origin teas differ in flavor and aroma?

Each tea in the sampler highlights the characteristics of its growing region and processing method—strong, malty black teas; floral and fragrant whites and jasmine; vegetal green; and smooth, lightly oxidized oolongs. Tasting them side-by-side makes it easier to notice subtle differences in body, finish, and scent.

• Assam: full-bodied, malty black tea with briskness.
• Ceylon Orange Pekoe: bright, citrusy notes and clean finish.
• First Flush Darjeeling: delicate, floral, and muscatel hints.
• Jasmine Pearls: fragrant jasmine aroma with a sweet finish.
• Japanese Sencha: fresh, grassy, and umami-forward green tea.
• Milk Oolong: creamy texture with light floral and honey notes.
• Silver Needle: subtle, sweet white tea with delicate perfume.

What’s the best way to brew each sample for optimal taste?

Brewing parameters vary by leaf type—black teas need higher temperatures and shorter steep times, while green and white teas prefer cooler water and gentler infusions. Use loose-leaf-friendly equipment (infuser, teapot, or gaiwan) and adjust steep time to match your strength preference.

• Black teas (Assam, Ceylon): 95–100°C (203–212°F), 3–4 minutes.
• Darjeeling & Oolong: 85–95°C (185–203°F), 2.5–3.5 minutes.
• Sencha: 70–80°C (158–176°F), 1.5–2 minutes.
• Silver Needle & Jasmine Pearls: 75–85°C (167–185°F), 2–3 minutes.

How much tea does each pouch make and how should I store them?

Each resealable sample pouch yields about 4–8 cups depending on your scoop size and steeping strength. Keeping pouches sealed away from light, heat, and moisture preserves aroma and flavor for the longest time.

• Yield: roughly 4–8 cups per pouch, depending on infusion strength.
• Storage: reseal pouch, store in cool, dark place—avoid humidity.
• Tip: use airtight tins for long-term storage after opening.

Can this set help me find my favorite tea style?

Yes—the sampler functions like a guided tasting flight so you can compare leaf size, liquor color, and flavor profiles side-by-side. It’s ideal for discovering whether you prefer malty black teas, delicate whites, floral scented teas, vegetal greens, or smooth oolongs before purchasing larger quantities.
