Did You Know?

Filter, tea ball, infuser, gaiwan, sieve, or nothing at all? There are so many ways to steep and filter tea, and while the Discover Teas Tea Brewing Guide does provide some baseline recommendations, these are only a starting point.

Like your tea with a bit of bite to it? Steep it longer, or using hotter water! Looking for a softer taste or less caffeine? Try an ultra-short (30 seconds to 1 minute) steep using water about 10 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than you'd normally use—or temperature isn't a factor for you, for about 15 minutes using room-temperature water!

Even the question of whether or not to boil the water you use for tea has more nuance than you might think! Read more about some of the considerations involved in boiling water for tea here.

One of the fun things about being a steeper at the Wū Wǒ Tea Ceremony is that you get to share your favorite way of steeping your tea!

Current PRE-shipping order processing time:

4–9 business days (excluding weekends/holidays)

Processing times are updated as needed on the website slideshow and our order shipping & fulfillment page and may change without notice depending on order volume. I do not have any control over shipping times and cannot guarantee delivery by a certain date, the best I can do is encourage you to shop early for any gifting needs to give the maximum chance that your tea will get to you on time.

Shop our entire selection of tea and teaware by clicking here, or make a custom order request using this form link! If you prefer to order by phone, you can also call or text us at (757) 847-5190. Voicemails and texts will be responded to during business hours (excluding holidays).

Orders over $65 ship FREE, all other orders ship for a flat fee of $5.95!

Virtual Wū Wǒ Tea Ceremony on Saturday, April 26th, 4:00pm Eastern

Want to be part of a tea ceremony that is all about sharing and communi-tea? You can join the Discover Teas Virtual Wū Wǒ ceremony for free as either a steeper or an observer! No experience is needed in order to participate. Learn more about the classic Wū Wǒ ceremony here and the virtual Wū Wǒ format that we use here!

This year's virtual Wū Wǒ tea ceremony will take place online on Saturday, April 26th, at 4:00pm Eastern! We will be using Jitsi for this event, and the link will be e-mailed to all participants shortly before the ceremony. As always, this event is completely free—however, the link will be sent through e-mail, so all attendees should register using this link, which also includes details on how to get involved if you'd like to steep along!

This year, in the spirit of sharing that is central to the Wū Wǒ ceremony, attendees can receive a gift package containing samples of Discover Teas chosen by the steepers, along with a set of tea filters, a tea brewing guide magnet, recycled paper coaster, Wū Wǒ reference card, and sample of brew glitter! Ships only to areas served by USPS—within that range, all attendees are eligible to receive this package!

April Action Hour:
Sunday, April 27th, 5:00pm Eastern!

As I mentioned in last month's newsletter, I've launched a completely optional incentive program called "Take a Stand, Make a Plan" dedicated to actions we can take to protect the most vulnerable among us and to support democracy in this turbulent time. For more details on the incentives and what you can do during action hour, please see the Incentivizing Change blog post.
