Jasmine Oolong Tea
Authentic Jasmine Oolong is a premium tea that combines the fresh, fragrant notes of Jasmine flowers with the smooth, rich flavor of Oolong tea. The process involves carefully blending freshly bloomed Jasmine flowers with Oolong tea leaves during the drying stage, allowing the tea to absorb the flower's natural fragrance. The more times the tea is scented with Jasmine flowers, the more intense and aromatic the floral notes become. After the scenting process, the tea is dried again to lock in that fresh, vibrant Jasmine aroma.

For the best flavor, Jasmine Oolong is typically made with high-quality, lightly fragrant Tie Guan Yin Oolong tea leaves, harvested during the summer or autumn season. The result is a tea that’s perfectly balanced: the fresh, lively Jasmine fragrance mingles seamlessly with the smooth, creamy taste of Oolong. It’s like stepping into a garden full of blooming Jasmine flowers, where the sweet floral notes and the smooth, sweet tea create a refreshing, comforting experience in every sip.

This Jasmine Oolong tea is perfect for anyone who enjoys a balance of light floral notes with a rich, smooth finish—ideal for any time of day when you're craving something fragrant and refreshing.

Wuyi Shui Xian (High Mountain, Old Bush) 

Wuyi Shui Xian is one of the signature cultivars of Wuyi rock oolong.  it combines rich floral aroma with a thick, velvety liquor. Originating in the Qing dynasty, Shui Xian is the only semi-arbor cultivar among Wuyi teas. Old bush (lao cong) trees—typically 50+ years—produce deeper, smoother infusions with forest-like clarity, woodsy depth, and signature “cong” flavor. Compared to newer bushes, old trees yield higher amino acids and lower bitterness, making them more enduring in brews and suitable for medium charcoal roast.

This tea is sourced from Baizhang Village in Xiaoqiao Town, just outside the Wuyishan core scenic area. With a 1,000-year legacy of tea production and imperial tribute history, Baizhang sits at 730m elevation in the southeast Wuyi Mountains. The terroir—constant mist, gravelly soil, and rich minerals—creates optimal conditions for deep, layered teas at a more accessible price point.

We compared several Shui Xian teas from within the Wuyi core and selected this high-mountain, old-bush version for its mature flavor, authentic craftsmanship, and outstanding value. With a taste profile reminiscent of 40–50-year-style Shui Xian, this tea is not only beginner-friendly but also worthy of daily storage and long-term appreciation by seasoned drinkers.

Roasted Aroma Tie Guan Yin (Traditional Charcoal-Roasted)

Our roasted Tie Guan Yin comes from the same Longjuan village in Anxi. It balances the signature Tie Guan Yin floral aroma with a smooth, roasted sweetness — a perfect “next step” for those who enjoy depth and complexity in their oolongs. Great hot, and surprisingly pleasant as a cold brew too.

Ya Shi Xiang Dancong | 鸭屎香单丛乌龙茶

Wuyi Rou Gui (High Mountain Cinnamon Rock Oolong) | 武夷高山肉桂
Introduction
Rou Gui is one of the most iconic Wuyi rock oolongs, known for its bold, spicy character and its signature cinnamon-like aroma. Grown in rocky, mineral-rich soils and charcoal-roasted to perfection, it delivers a complex, full-bodied cup with layered notes of roasted spice, dark fruit, and wet stone.

This tea is sourced from Baizhang Village in Xiaoqiao Town, located just outside the Wuyishan core scenic area. Though not within the official “Zheng Yan” zone, Baizhang boasts over 1,000 years of tea-making history and was once a producer of imperial tribute teas. At 730m elevation, its high-mountain terroir—misty climate, sandy-gravel soils, and rich mineral content—meets the classic criteria for producing exceptional rock oolong at outstanding value.

After extensive tasting of Rou Gui from across Wuyi’s top areas, we selected this tea for its exceptional balance of flavor, structure, and price—making it our top choice for a daily drinking Rou Gui with true character.

This tea was freshly roasted on September 3 and is recommended to be stored for a period of time before drinking.

Why shouldn’t freshly roasted Oolong tea be consumed right away?

Right after roasting, the tea has a strong charcoal aroma that can mask its natural fragrance and flavor. It also retains a certain “fiery” quality — caffeine and tea polyphenols remain high, making the taste slightly harsh or astringent and potentially irritating to the throat or stomach. Drinking it too soon can also lead to a feeling of internal heat, especially for those prone to “heatiness” or during dry seasons, known in traditional Chinese medicine as “shang huo” (excess internal heat). These symptoms quickly subside once consumption stops.

To avoid discomfort, let the tea rest before drinking. This allows the fire taste to fade (“tui huo”) and the tea’s components to stabilize. Once rested, the tea becomes smoother and more balanced in both aroma and flavor. Lightly roasted teas need about 1–2 months to rest, while medium to heavily roasted ones require around 6 months.
