What is Tuanhua (团花)?
Tuanhua, also known as “ball-flower patterns,” doesn’t refer to any specific flower. Instead, it’s a decorative style where flowers, fruits, and geometric elements are arranged within a circular outline, forming a compact “ball-like” motif. The earliest versions date back to the Shang dynasty, appearing on bronze and white pottery. By the Yongzheng period of the Qing dynasty, tuanhua became widely used in imperial porcelain—especially in famille-rose ware—and later spread to folk kilns, becoming a beloved decorative style.
Tuanhua designs are known for their lively, free layouts. Circles of different sizes are arranged in seemingly casual yet harmonious compositions—sometimes single, sometimes overlapping in pairs or groups of three. Often paired with colors like white, black, and celadon white, they create a light, balanced visual effect. These motifs are commonly used on porcelain, clothing, and furniture, symbolizing reunion, prosperity, and completeness, carrying blessings of good fortune.
Scented tea isn’t made only with fresh flowers—aromatic leaves can be used as well. Sticky Rice Aroma Black Tea is a unique specialty from Yunnan, created by scenting Dianhong black tea with sticky rice aroma leaves.
These leaves carry a strong, natural sticky-rice fragrance. In Yunnan, they are often dried and used for tea, seasoning, or traditional remedies. Ethnic groups such as the Dai and Hani use them to clear heat and support digestion. Paired with black tea, which is known for warming the stomach, this blend is especially friendly for those with weak digestion.
This Sticky Rice Aroma Black Tea brings together the sweetness of Dianhong and the comforting sticky-rice fragrance of the leaves. Once brewed, you’ll first notice the rich, natural sticky-rice aroma. The tea tastes smooth, sweet, and full, without bitterness or roughness. The liquor is thick, silky, and a glowing orange-red, offering a warm and soothing feeling—perfect for autumn and winter.

Jin Mudan (Golden Peony) was developed by the Tea Research Institute of Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences between 1978 and 2002 through hybridization of Tieguanyin (female parent) and Huang Ti (Huang Jingui, male parent). Its name comes from the dark, glossy appearance of the dry leaves and the golden color of the leaf buds. Jin Mudan combines the “flavor” of Tieguanyin and the “fragrance” of Huang Jingui.
This Jin Mudan features a vivid, rich aroma with floral notes blending orchid and honey fragrance, which lingers even in a cold brew. The liquor is full-bodied, smooth, and delicate, with a distinct mineral taste ( rock rhyme ) and a long-lasting finish. It is often used to enhance the aroma when blending Da Hong Pao or enjoyed as a high-fragrance single-origin tea.

Wuyi Rougui is one of the most famous varieties of Wuyi Rock Tea, named for its sharp, cinnamon-like aroma.
This Wuyi Rougui is medium charcoal-roasted.

The flavor is rich and full-bodied, with a slightly stimulating character and a touch of bitterness in the liquor. The sweet aftertaste and mouthwatering effect appear quickly, accompanied by a noticeable mineral character.

Phoenix Lang Cai Oolong | The Hidden Hermit of Guangdong Teas
A bold and rare oolong born in the misty peaks of Phoenix Mountain, Guangdong.
Phoenix Lang Cai (浪菜), literally meaning “tossed greens,” is a traditional and lesser-known style of Chaozhou oolong tea. Crafted at altitudes above 600 meters from heirloom Phoenix Shui Xian tea trees, this tea bridges the flavor spectrum between high-fragrance Dancong and lighter Phoenix Shui Xian.
Tasting Notes
Expect an aromatic profile built on woody base notes, layered with wild honey, moss, and a distinct mineral “rock rhyme” (岩韵). The liquor is bright amber-orange. First sips are sweet and powerful, followed by a long, smooth aftertaste with a hint of wildflower nectar. This is not a delicate tea—it is bold, rustic, and grounding, with a raw mountain energy.
Origin: Phoenix Mountain, Chaozhou, Guangdong, China
Cultivar: Phoenix Shui Xian group cultivar
Elevation: 600–800m
Crafting: Hand-tossed “Lang Qing” + medium charcoal roast
Storage: Best within 36 months in cool, dry conditions
What Makes Lang Cai Special?
In Chaozhou tea-making, “Lang Cai” refers to the traditional process of “Lang Qing”—gently tossing the tea leaves during oxidation to stimulate natural fermentation. This labor-intensive process lasts 8–12 hours and is done entirely by hand, often at night. Lang Cai teas sit between:
-
Dancong (highly aromatic, single-bush teas)
-
Phoenix Shui Xian (mild, lightly oxidized teas)
Lang Cai retains traditional craft elements—nighttime processing, hand-tossing, and charcoal roasting—all of which deepen its flavor complexity.
Why You’ll Love This Tea
-
If you enjoy teas with character – Lang Cai offers an earthy, grounding experience unlike the floral lightness of other oolongs.
-
If you're exploring the Guangdong oolong spectrum – This tea is a must-try, offering a “middle ground” between delicate and robust.
-
If you appreciate craft and terroir – Lang Cai reflects the minerals, mists, and time-honored methods of Phoenix Mountain more directly than any other style.
“Dancong is for aroma, Lang Cai is for structure, Shui Xian is for clarity.” – Chaozhou tea saying

About Yongchun Beikeng Overseas Chinese Tea Factory
Founded in 1917, the Yongchun Beikeng Tea Factory has a rich history of producing high-quality teas. Once a bustling hub of innovation and craftsmanship, the factory was home to over 1,000 tea workers at its peak, producing millions of pounds of tea annually. The factory's products, including Min Nan Shui Xian, were highly sought after in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
Just as many state-owned old factories have experienced ups and downs, in the 1990s, the tea factory once fell into a slump, and the once bustling factory area gradually became desolate. The former factory director, Huang Shenghou, who had created its greatest glory and witnessed its decline, couldn't bear to see it and took over the factory personally after its privatization.
Today, this aged Min Nan Shui Xian Oolong tea stands as a flavorful tribute to the factory's storied past and the enduring legacy of traditional Chinese tea-making.

Mi Zhuan Tea (Rice Brick Tea) is a unique compressed tea produced in Yangloudong, an ancient town in Chibi City, Hubei Province, known as the "Hometown of Chinese Brick Tea." It is a type of compressed tea—specifically, a brick tea. The tea leaves used as raw material are as fine as grains of rice, hence the name "Mi Zhuan" (Rice Brick Tea).
The finished product is visually striking, with well-defined edges, elegant surface patterns, and a glossy, dark surface. When brewed, the tea yields a deep red liquor with a pure, mellow aroma and a rich, full-bodied flavor.
Traditionally, Mi Zhuan Tea was consumed by people living in cold climates due to its high vitamin content, which helps compensate for the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables during winter. It is primarily sold in Xinjiang and North China, with some exports to Russia and Mongolia. In recent years, small quantities have also made their way to Europe and America, making it a distinctive and exceptional red brick tea among Chinese brick teas.
Brewing and Enjoyment Tips
This tea embodies the unique transformation brought by time. The first infusion can serve as a "tea awakening" to activate the tea's inner qualities, enhancing its flavor profile. Mi Zhuan Tea (Rice Brick Tea) is shaped like a brick. Before brewing, use a specialized brick tea knife or tea pick to gently break the brick into appropriately sized pieces. Avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the tea leaves.

What is Tuanhua?
Tuanhua, also known as “ball-flower patterns,” doesn’t refer to any specific flower.
Instead, it’s a decorative style where flowers, fruits, and geometric elements are arranged within a circular outline, forming a compact “ball-like” motif.
The earliest versions date back to the Shang dynasty, appearing on bronze and white pottery.
By the Yongzheng period of the Qing dynasty, tuanhua became widely used in imperial porcelain—especially in famille-rose ware—and later spread to folk kilns, becoming a beloved decorative style.
Tuanhua designs are known for their lively, free layouts.
Circles of different sizes are arranged in seemingly casual yet harmonious compositions—sometimes single, sometimes overlapping in pairs or groups of three.
Often paired with colors like white, black, and celadon white, they create a light, balanced visual effect.
These motifs are commonly used on porcelain, clothing, and furniture, symbolizing reunion, prosperity, and completeness, carrying blessings of good fortune.
