Verdant Tea of the Month Club

What's in the box: Loose-leaf Chinese teas sourced from the small family farms Verdant Tea works with.

Verdant Tea sells loose-leaf Chinese tea sourced from small family farms, and its Tea Club is offered alongside the regular shop. The homepage shows the company's approach clearly. Current features include 2026 harvest Wuyi oolongs from the Li Family in Wuyishan, each with detailed notes on varietal, garden conditions, and processing. Examples include the 12 hour yaoqing turning process used for their Qilan and the repeated hand-firing behind their Rou Gui and Dark Roast Shui Xian. Teas are identified by grower and region rather than by generic blend names, which helps drinkers who want to know exactly where their tea comes from.

This sourcing detail is the main reason to consider the club. It suits people who already brew loose leaf, especially gongfu style, and who want to explore specific varietals and growing regions over time.

The homepage does not explain how the Tea Club works, what each shipment includes, or how often it ships, so read the club page for those terms before subscribing. Newcomers used to bagged tea may find the focus on traditional Chinese oolongs and black teas more specialized than a general sampler box. The site also runs seasonal promotions on individual teas, so some drinkers may prefer buying what they want directly instead of committing to a recurring plan.
