2026 Spring Green Tea

Explore the best of Chinese spring tea with the 2026 First Flush Green Tea Collection.

This set includes 4 iconic green teas:

• Longjing (Dragon Well)

• Biluochun

• Huangshan Maofeng

• Enshi Yulu

All teas are handpicked as First Flush, the earliest harvest after winter dormancy. At this time, the young buds are rich in amino acids, creating a cup that is exceptionally fresh, smooth, and naturally sweet.

From nutty and smooth to floral and vegetal, this collection lets you experience the diversity of Chinese green tea in one set.

This Yunnan High Mountain Green Tea is grown at around 1,200 meters in Mengku, Lincang, Yunnan, and made from spring-picked Fengqing large-leaf tea plants. Unlike lighter green teas, it offers a bolder and more structured green tea experience.

The tea has a rich floral aroma, full-bodied liquor, and a lingering aftertaste, with a gentle bitterness reminiscent of young raw Pu-erh—but fresher, brighter, and more refreshing. It is ideal for tea drinkers who enjoy strong tea flavor, noticeable body, and a more distinctive Chinese green tea character.

The First Taste of Spring — Fresh,  Fragrant

Biluochun reveals its most captivating character in the earliest days of spring.

Handpicked in early April from Dongting Mountain in Suzhou, these tender buds grow among fruit trees — a unique terroir that naturally infuses the tea with a fresh aroma and a bright, lively taste.

Picked at their youngest stage, the leaves are exceptionally delicate, offering a clarity and fragrance that later harvests cannot replicate.

Available only during a short spring window, once a year.

The First Taste of Spring — Steamed Freshness & Umami Depth

Enshi Yulu captures spring in one of the most distinctive ways among Chinese green teas.

Harvested in early April from the mountains of Hubei, its youngest buds are processed using a rare steaming technique — preserving natural chlorophyll and active compounds at their peak.

This method gives the tea its vibrant green color, a gentle seaweed-like aroma, and a fresh, umami-rich taste with a smooth, clean finish.

Unlike pan-fired teas, its freshness feels brighter and more vivid — a true expression of preserved spring vitality.

Only produced once a year, within a short seasonal window.

The First Taste of Spring — Rich, Nutty & Smooth

The finest Longjing begins with the very first buds of early April — a brief moment that defines its most prized character.

Handpicked from Zhejiang and crafted from traditional Qunti Zhong cultivar, these early leaves are rich in amino acids, creating a smooth, rounded body with a distinctive roasted bean aroma and warm nutty notes.

As the season advances, this depth and sweetness begin to fade — which is why First Flush Longjing is considered the most complete expression of this iconic tea.

Harvested within a short seasonal window, only once a year.

The First Taste of Spring — Light, Clean & Delicate

The elegance of Huangshan Maofeng is defined by its earliest harvest.

Handpicked in early April from high-altitude mountains of Anhui (around 800 meters), these young leaves develop a lighter, more refined profile shaped by the cool, misty environment.

The result is a clean vegetal aroma, gentle sweetness, and a smooth, refreshing finish — soft, balanced, and quietly expressive.

As the season progresses, this delicacy diminishes, making First Flush the most prized selection.

Limited to a short harvest window each year.
A pure and delicate taste of spring.
