About Mei Leaf
Mei Leaf is a London tea company founded in 2006 by Don Mei, originally trading as chinalife. Its teahouse at 99-105 Camden High Street sells loose tea, gongfu teaware and tea by the pot. It also ships online orders from London.
The focus is East Asian tea at the top of the price range, especially Chinese oolong, white tea and pu-erh. Products carry Mei Leaf's own names alongside the cultivar or style, for example Stone Milk, an heirloom-cultivar oolong, Heirloom Silver Needle, and Jade Star 9, a 2008 Fuding white tea cake. Prices are high, so start with a sample size of one oolong and one white tea before buying a full pouch.
