Teas that mark the
turning of seasons
Each tea is selected for its origin, craftsmanship and harvest quality, bringing the full complexity of the leaf to every cup.
White Tea
Explore Astraluna’s White Tea collection, from delicate Silver Needle and Bai Mu Dan to fuller, more mature styles. Gently withered and minimally processed, white tea reveals soft florals, honeyed sweetness, fresh hay and rounded texture, with character shaped by cultivar, origin and age. Chosen for purity, balance and graceful development across repeated Gong Fu infusions.
Balance isn’t found.
It’s practiced.
Every cup is an invitation to slow down. Tea isn’t simply something we drink, it’s a ritual that reconnects us with ourselves, with nature, and with the people around us.

Single-origin teas chosen for character, craftsmanship and flavour.
Authentic Teaware

Red Tea
Explore Astraluna’s Red Tea collection, known in the West as black tea, including Jin Jun Mei, Dian Hong, Lapsang Souchong and Taiwanese red teas. Fully oxidised leaves bring honeyed sweetness, malt, fruit, florals and gentle spice, with each tea shaped by cultivar, origin and craft. Chosen for clarity, depth and rewarding Gong Fu infusions.
Dark Tea
Explore Astraluna’s collection of Chinese dark tea (Hei Cha 黑茶), including aged Anhua teas, Tian Jian, Fu Zhuan, Liu Bao and Liu An. These post-fermented teas develop deep, layered character through microbial transformation and ageing, with profiles ranging from mellow grain and honey to wood, mineral, dried fruit and earthy sweetness. Chosen for clarity, provenance and character, each tea is suited to patient brewing and repeated infusions, whether prepared Gong Fu style or in a larger pot.
