While it can seem overwhelming at first, there’s really no wrong way to begin drinking tea: any cup that you enjoy is a good cup! But there are a few beginner-friendly tea types that we often recommend for customers who are new to tea:

If you're looking to get more into tea, there are a lot (sometime an overwhelming amount) of options to choose from! You may be struggling to decide (or even know the difference) between caffeinated and caffeine-free, flavored and unflavored, black and green, purple and pu-erh.

Because Japanese black teas are made from unique tea cultivars rarely used to produce black tea, they are often different in character than Chinese or Indian black teas, with a bright, delicate flavor and a hint of natural sweetness. ☕

It's Monday, we're drinking Japanese Wakoucha! While Japan is best known for its green teas, it produces a few specialty black teas.

Jade Song is sourced from Taiwan, and is an excellent example of a superior quality Taiwanese oolong!

Jade Song Oolong features large, hand-rolled leaves and has a delicate, mellow flavor with a smooth finish. Less oxidized than some other types of oolong, this fragrant tea has a lighter and more subtle flavor as a result, with floral and vegetal notes.

What was your favorite tea of 2025? We’d love to hear!

Happy New Year from ArtfulTea! As we enter 2026, we’ve compiled a list of our most popular blends from 2025: artfultea.com/pages/top-te...

As always, we're very grateful for the support from our customers near and far, new and old—none of this would be possible without you. Happy sipping!

We encourage you to get a refill of a favorite tea, or a gift for the tea lover on your holiday shopping list, or a fun new blend you've been eyeing.

We're not fans of the chaos and consumerism that Black Friday represents. So we're doing things a little differently: one last sale to close out the year, to celebrate the changing of the seasons and to give our loyal customers the chance to replenish their supply of tea for the months ahead.

It's tea season: mornings grow chillier, days grow shorter, and snow is on the horizon (or, depending on where you are in the world, already on your doorstep.) We enjoy tea the whole year round, but there's something especially satisfying about a cup of good tea as the year draws to a close.

Our Hojicha is sourced from Shizuoka, Japan. It is a smooth and satisfying tea with toasty and nutty notes, and brews up a beautiful caramel color. It’s a great tea to enjoy on a chilly afternoon!

Hojicha is low in caffeine, with a medium body and a warm, nutty flavor with a hint of natural sweetness. Because of its low caffeine content and mild taste, in Japan Hojicha is especially popular among children and people who may be sensitive to caffeine.

The roasting process that Hojicha undergoes sets it apart from other types of Japanese green tea. This process turns the tea leaves a light brown color.
