Golden Ember

Golden Ember

No reviews

Sip Slowly. Read Deeply.

There was a time when people trusted the leaves. Before life demanded explanations for everything, a quiet cup of tea held the wisdom of the ages and the courage to look inward. Golden Ember is a moderately-roasted Ti Kuan Yin style oolong, warm and golden in the cup, with toasted honey and caramel notes that unfold beautifully over multiple steepings. Whether you're here for the ritual, the flavour, or a little tasseography magic, you've found the right tea.

Ancient Art, Modern Cup

Oolong is the traditional tea of choice for tasseography, the ancient art of tea leaf reading, and Golden Ember was crafted with exactly that in mind. These whole leaves are complex without being heavy, mineral-rich and warming, with the kind of clean depth that rewards a slow, wide-rimmed cup and a few unhurried moments. Each steeping reveals something a little different, because the best things usually do. To help you begin, the oldest known English tea reading guide is yours to download for free from Project Gutenberg. All you need is a cup, some curiosity, and these leaves.

Between Green and Black, Something Golden

What is oolong tea? Oolong lives in the beautiful in-between. Partially oxidized, it sits somewhere between green and black tea, carrying the freshness of one and the depth of the other. That partial oxidation is what gives oolong its signature complexity: layers that shift and deepen with every steep, flavours that evolve rather than repeat. It's the kind of tea that earns a second cup before you've finished the first, and a third when you want to linger just a little longer in the moment.

Tasting Notes

Golden Ember is a Ti Kuan Yin style oolong. About 30% oxidized it is moderately roasted to draw out toasted honey and caramel warmth. With clean mineral notes and a quiet nuttiness underneath, it has a classic buttery texture that is smooth and beautifully balanced. Unfolds with grace over multiple steepings.

The Intention

Wonder doesn't need permission. It just needs a little space and something worth slowing down for. Golden Ember is infused with Reiki energy and the intention to bring a little awe back into your day, to remind you that mystery is not something to be solved but something to be savoured. Steeped in centuries of tradition, this is the cup that invites you to look a little closer, trust a little more, and let the leaves say what they will.

Let Steeping Calm become the ritual that opens you to wonder, one golden cup at a time.

Steeping Recommendations

Pour 1 cup 80C to 85C water over 1.5 tsp tea. Cover. Wait 2-4 mins. For multiple infusions, add 30 seconds to 1 minute for each subsequent infusion.

For tea leaf reading: Pour water over 1 tsp tea in a porcelain tea cup. As you drink the tea, ask for your future to come through in the symbols of the tea leaves. Drink until there is a scant half a teaspoonful of the liquor remaining. Take the cup and turn it three times from left to right. Then very carefully invert it over the saucer and leave it there for a minute, allowing all moisture to drain away. Flip it back over and see what has taken shape.
