DelmarTe Exclusive Luxury Gift Set - 2 Teas

Choose Two from DelmarTe's Rarer Teas

The box holds two teas selected from a list that includes Ming Dynasty yellow tea, jasmine dragon pearls, Genmaicha Musashi, and White Angel, among others — each available individually as its own product. Picking two lets a buyer build a pairing rather than accept a preset one: contrast a delicate white tea against a toasty green, or put two Private Reserve teas side by side for a gift aimed squarely at an experienced drinker.

A few worth knowing on their own: Yellow Tea – Ming Dynasty is one of the rarest true-tea categories still produced; Jasmine White Dragon Pearls are hand-rolled leaf that unfurl in the cup; Genmaicha Musashi blends green tea with roasted rice; and White Angel is one of DelmarTe's lighter Private Reserve whites.

Who Reaches for This Set

Build this for someone who already drinks tea seriously — a colleague retiring after decades, a relative who keeps a proper tea cabinet, a client relationship worth a genuinely considered gift. Because the two teas are chosen rather than fixed, it also suits a buyer who knows exactly which two blends the recipient would want, rather than leaving it to a curated theme.

For a gift where the theme is decided for you around a lighter, floral, or seasonal mood instead, DelmarTe's fixed two-tea Exclusive sets do that curating on your behalf.

Did You Know

• Yellow tea is the rarest of the major true-tea categories. It goes through an extra step called men huan — the just-fired leaf is wrapped and left to rest in gentle residual heat before it fully cools, mellowing its grassy edge. Very few producers still make it, and historically it was reserved for the Chinese imperial court rather than general trade.

• Genmaicha started as a way to stretch tea further, not as a flavor experiment. Roasted rice was added to green tea to make a limited supply of leaf go further; some of the kernels pop during roasting the way popcorn does, which is why the style is sometimes nicknamed "popcorn tea" in the West.

• Jasmine pearls are rolled by hand before they're ever scented. Each pearl starts as a single bud and leaf, twisted into a tight ball while still fresh; the shape is what lets the leaf unfurl slowly in hot water instead of releasing all its flavor in the first minute of steeping.

Do I choose the two teas in this set myself?

Yes. The set is built around a selection of DelmarTe teas — largely from the Private Reserve line — and you pick two at checkout rather than receiving a fixed pairing.

What teas can I choose from?

Options include Ming Dynasty yellow tea, jasmine dragon pearls, Genmaicha Musashi, White Angel, and other DelmarTe premium blends; each is also sold individually if you want to research a specific one first.

Is this the same as the Premium Custom set?

No — this set curates from a defined list of premium teas for you to choose two from; the Premium Custom set offers a wider selection for the same pick-two format.

What if I don't know which two teas to pick?

DelmarTe's fixed-theme Exclusive sets remove that decision by curating a specific pairing for you.

How rare is yellow tea, really?

It's one of the least-produced of the major tea categories today, owing to an extra resting step in processing that few producers still practice.
