MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION
Welcome to our Subscription page, created for everyone who wants to develop their understanding of tea and learn to evaluate it like a true tea connoisseur. More than a traditional tea club, this is an educational journey created to expand your knowledge, refine your palate, and introduce you to the remarkable diversity of the world's finest teas.
Each month, we carefully select eight different teas, with every tea representing a different style, origin, or category. Every sample contains 15 grams of tea, providing enough leaf for two or even three tasting sessions. This allows you to revisit the same tea, experiment with different brewing approaches and parameters, and gradually discover the subtle changes in aroma, texture, flavour, and aftertaste that make great tea so fascinating.
Every sample is accompanied by a QR code leading to detailed information about the tea's history, production methods, terroir, organoleptic profile, recommended brewing techniques, and personal reflections from the founder of AN SHIM TEA. These resources are designed to guide you through every tasting and help you better understand the craftsmanship, philosophy, and culture behind each tea.
HOW IT WORKS
You can simply follow our monthly Subscription Sets, allowing us to guide your tea journey through a carefully curated seasonal selection. If you wish to explore a particular tea culture or category in greater depth, you can also choose one of our additional themed selections dedicated to specific countries, tea types, or educational topics.
Once you place your order, you will receive a confirmation email. Your subscription set will be carefully prepared and shipped within 1–3 business days, allowing you to begin your next tea discovery as soon as possible. We hope this subscription inspires you to slow down, taste with greater attention, and discover the endless beauty and diversity of the world's highest mastery teas.

MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION SETS
"Every year, we travel across the tea-producing countries to visit the farmers, producers, and friends we have worked with for many years, while also building new relationships along the way. Every journey brings new discoveries, from remarkable seasonal harvests to rare experimental teas produced in extremely limited quantities. Many of these teas are impossible to keep in regular stock, but whenever we have the opportunity, we do our best to share them with you, believing that experiencing truly unique teas is one of the most inspiring ways to deepen your understanding of tea."

The more teas you experience, compare, and revisit, the more you begin to understand their unique character, and the more deeply you fall in love with the world of tea. I hope these selections inspire your curiosity and encourage you to continue discovering just how rich and fascinating that journey can be."
