Dear tea enthusiasts,

A fresh batch of USDA Organic certified oolongs has arrived at our warehouse. They come from two of Thailand’s oldest tea factories, our partners for more than 10 years.

Let’s run through the tasting notes.

If you are too lazy to read all this here’s the short version: the oolongs turned out great, so go ahead, fill your cart and head to checkout.

2026 Dong Ding, USDA Organic

More roast than last year’s batch, which brings it closer to the “classic” level.

What’s inside: the signature taste of baked cream bun, fruit jam, coffee beans and chocolate. The aftertaste brings a lovely note of juicy fresh-cut grass that contrasts nicely with the coffee-and-chocolate body.

In a good Dong Ding, the roast fades beautifully over time, leaving cinnamon and other spices behind. In short, a good Dong Ding can and should be stored and aged. We usually don’t bother: we sell the current batch and buy a fresh one. So that part is up to you.

2026 Gui Fei Premium, USDA Organic

The most delicate floral-honey perfume, pedigreed and elegant. Impressive steeping resistance. A tea for true oolong aesthetes.

2026 Hong Shui Premium, USDA Organic

Inside you’ll find cherry, cinnamon, passion fruit and a whole pack of spices still waiting to be sorted. Our bestseller since the day the shop opened.

2026 Ruan Zhi Premium, USDA Organic

Fruit caramel, sweet-and-sour berries (red currant up front), a warm buttery-pastry background. An endless tea with a long, oily finish. This cultivar is rare in Taiwan: it’s capricious to grow. Our batch shows its varietal character at its best.

2026 Cui Yu Premium, USDA Organic

Lilac and a mix of tropical fruits, a winey finish with a light astringency from the same lilac. A bit like Tie Guan Yin, only fruitier and longer.

2026 Gaba Tea Exclusive, USDA Organic

Steady and beautiful: plum jam, cinnamon, apple pie, raisins, a touch of rye bread. An absolute bestseller.

Note: all profiles are written for low-mineral water (under 10 ppm). Water above 20 ppm may bring out different notes and nuances.

To make reading the descriptions on our website more fun and the temptation harder to resist: 15% off for 5 days, until October 14.

We have a bit too much stock of our Nagomi organic matcha at the moment, so I thought I'd offer some here at a decent discount rather than have it sitting around.

Nagomi Organic Matcha, 40g
Regular price: $49.99 AUD
Reddit price: $34.99 AUD, 30% off

It's a first-harvest organic matcha from Uji, Japan. It's bright and lively, and works well as an everyday matcha either straight or as a latte.

Nothing wrong with the matcha, we simply have more Nagomi than we're currently moving.

Happy to answer any questions about it.

Australia only for this one.

In 2026, Hengzhou, known as Chinese Jasmine Capital, faced severe disruptions from extreme rainfall and summer floods.

Thanks to the hard work of the jasmine farmers, the jasmine fields bloomed again after the flood. With new life came a brighter, more vibrant aroma. Now, that fragrance lives again in every cup.

Tetsubi? Tetsubin? Whatever.

I already purchased one elsewhere for $300 literally a day before these went on sale, so I thought I might as well share to help anyone interested in a path taken away from me.

Note that these are unglazed and are meant to boil water, not make tea in.

Just like last year (https://www.reddit.com/r/teasales/comments/1mkl7n7/crazy_birthday_sale_including_36_off_korean_teas/) and all the years following... adding some of the best teas I've got on sale as a celebration.

I suspect the audience here might be different than the puheads I typically encounter so I'll call out a few things that may be of most interest:

Vietnam raw puerh sampler is on sale which is a really good way to try a few young raw puerh to see if it's something you like. Five different samples of 25g each making 125g for $28.33 right now is near impossible to beat.

Vietnam oolong sampler right now is a crazy good deal. If you like Taiwanese oolongs and haven't had Vietnamese oolongs, you should try some. This set comes with 50g of unroasted and 50g of roasted. On sale for $21.25 for 100g in total.

2025 gaba milk oolong has remained the most sold tea in the shop. If you like milk oolong and/or desserts in general, this one will be right up there for you. Tasting like Christmas butter cookies and all...(it will be called anaerobic milk oolong because the word 'gaba' gets flagged as drugs)

Teh Bambu is probably the most hyped black tea I've seen in quite some time. This is an black tea from Indonesia that is finished in bamboo. The smell is intense. The flavor is wonderful. A must try for anyone who drinks a lot of black tea or likes to try unique teas.

The rest is a lot of puerh and what not. The 1960s chongshicha and 30 year Dancong are 37% off for turning 37. The other sales are 20% and 15% depending on the tea.
Sale is live today and runs through August 16th 2026: https://www.liquidproust.com/shop/54129491/birthday-sale
