A Tea with Deep Roots in History
The Xiyan region has been cultivating tea since the Tang dynasty, and rose to fame in the Qing dynasty, when monks from the local Xizhu Temple cultivated high-mountain teas that were shipped across Southeast Asia as tribute tea.
Modern Xi Yan Oolong is made mostly from old group-varietal bushes (such as Shui Xian and Mei Zhan), many over 50 years old, growing between 500–700m. Since the 1960s, these high-altitude gardens have been known for a distinct “rock rhyme”—a deep, slightly spicy minerality that sets it apart from the sweeter, lighter oolongs of Chaozhou.
Processing: Heavier Roast, Deeper Flavor
-
Heavy withering + strong leaf shaking (yao qing)
-
Thick stems preserved for body and sweetness
-
Deep charcoal roasting (heaviest in Guangdong)
Compared to other Guangdong oolongs:
-
Xi Yan: rich, roasted, and structured (suitable for aging)
-
Phoenix Dancong: high fragrance, lighter body
-
Lingtou Dancong: soft, sweet, everyday drinker
“Rocky on the outside, floral at the core.”

-
Aroma: deep floral notes with subtle stone fruit
-
Taste: thick and warming, with hints of baked plum, roasted almond, and a cooling mineral aftertaste

This is a tea that speaks slowly and confidently. It's not about quick aromas—it’s about structure, patience, and wild depth.

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. Its products, including Yongchun Fo Shou, 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, was deeply saddened by its decline and took over the factory himself after privatization.
Today, this aged Yongchun Fo Shou tea stands as a flavorful tribute to the factory's storied past and the enduring legacy of traditional Chinese tea-making.
Pearl Orchid, also known as Zhenzhulan or Cha Lan, gets its name from the way its tiny golden blossoms cluster along the stem like strands of pearls. In She County of Anhui, the flower was originally grown for ornamental purposes, but over time it became treasured for scenting tea. The region’s warm, humid climate and fertile soil provide ideal conditions for cultivating Pearl Orchid. Large-scale production of Pearl Orchid–scented tea began during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, and by around 1890, it had already become one of China’s major scented tea varieties, especially loved in northern China and among scholars and literati.
There is an old Chinese saying about seasonal tea drinking: “In winter drink black tea, in summer drink green tea, and in the second and eighth lunar months, drink Pearl Orchid tea.” These months mark the shift between warmer and cooler seasons, when humidity is higher. Pearl Orchid tea was believed to help dispel dampness and support the body during seasonal transitions.
This tea comes from She County in Anhui, using spring-picked Huangshan Maofeng green tea as the base. The addition of Pearl Orchid blossoms gives the tea a cleaner, brighter character. The liquor is smooth and sweet, without the bitterness sometimes found in green tea.
Its aroma is elegant and serene, with a soft, cooling sweetness—reminiscent of orchids blooming in a quiet valley. Compared with the lively, expressive fragrance of jasmine tea, Pearl Orchid tea is more subtle and deep, yet wonderfully long-lasting.

This Osmanthus Black Tea was freshly scented this autumn, using autumn-harvested black tea paired with autumn-blooming Bao Xin osmanthus. Through careful scenting, it carries a rich osmanthus aroma with a gentle sweetness.
Bao Xin osmanthus is often called the “royalty of osmanthus” for its exceptional quality, has layered petals and a full, rounded center. Compared with regular osmanthus, its blossoms are larger, thicker, and more fragrant. A single round of scenting is enough to infuse the tea with a strong aroma, and dried flowers are often kept in the final product to enhance the flavor.
The tea tastes warm and smooth, almost silky, with a sweet, full-bodied profile. The richness of the black tea and the clean sweetness of osmanthus complement each other, leaving a long-lasting aroma and a clear, pleasant aftertaste. It’s an excellent choice for autumn and winter, offering comforting warmth to both body and stomach.

Unit price perOolong Tea: The Balance of Oxidation
Oolong tea is a partially oxidized tea, with oxidation levels ranging from 10% to 70%. Oxidation plays a key role in shaping the tea's aroma and the brightness of its flavor. Light oxidation creates fresh floral and fruity notes, while higher oxidation brings out richer, more mature fruit or honey-like aromas.
Lightly Oxidized Oolong (10%–25%): Examples like Wen Shan Baozhong and light-roast Tieguanyin showcase fresh floral and fruity scents.
Moderately Oxidized Oolong (25%–50%): Teas such as Phoenix Dan Cong and medium-roast Tieguanyin have a balanced profile, combining floral notes with hints of honey, fruit, or roasting, resulting in a complex aroma.
Heavily Oxidized Oolong (50%–70%): Classics like Da Hong Pao, Wuyi Rougui, and Oriental Beauty deliver mature fruit aromas, roasted or caramel-like notes, and a smooth, full-bodied brew.
This product includes four renowned oolong teas, all lightly roasted but with varying oxidation levels. It’s the perfect way to explore how different oxidation levels influence the flavor and aroma of oolong tea.

Introduction:
This Anhua Dark Tea is meticulously selected from the autumn harvest of 2021. Plucked from wild tea gardens in Anhua County, Hunan Province, it adheres to the plucking standard of one bud and three leaves. Recognized by the global tea and medical communities as one of the healthiest beverages of the 21st century, this tea exudes a unique pine smoke aroma when brewed, offering a pure, mellow, and sweet taste with a lasting aftertaste.
Reasons to Recommend:
- Special Processing Technique: Anhua Dark Tea undergoes a unique "wet piling" (wo dui) process twice—once during the initial processing of raw tea and again during the final product processing. This process utilizes the temperature and humidity of the tea leaves after fixation, allowing microorganisms in the air to interact with the leaves, resulting in the transformation of the tea's internal compounds.
- Premium Quality: This Anhua Dark Tea (Tianjian) is considered the finest variety available on the market and was historically treasured as a tribute tea for emperors.
- Unique Aroma: A special step in the production of Anhua Dark Tea is the "Seven Star Stove" roasting. During this process, pine wood is burned beneath the stove, and the pine smoke is channeled into the tea leaves, infusing them with a distinctive pine smoke aroma while drying.
Oxidation Level: Wet piling fermentation
Roasting Level: Seven Star Stove pine smoke roasting
Tea Garden Soil: Weathered slate soil
Processing Time: 2021
Best Before Date: Suitable for long-term storage
Tea Variety: Anhua Group Variety
- Four types of packaging are randomly dispatched.
- During the aging and transportation process of aged tea, the packaging and the tea itself may get damaged. Please be cautious when purchasing if you mind this.

About Fuqing Dongge Overseas Chinese Tea Factory
The Fuqing Dongge Overseas Chinese Tea Factory, established in 1963, is a renowned producer of high-quality teas, specializing in jasmine-scented teas. Located in Fuqing, Fujian, an area rich in tea cultivation, the factory has been dedicated to preserving traditional tea-making methods while ensuring the highest standards of craftsmanship. With decades of experience, Fuqing Dongge has become a trusted name in the tea industry, especially known for its aromatic jasmine tea, which has gained popularity both domestically and internationally. The aged Jasmine Tea from this factory is a testament to their commitment to excellence and the beauty of time-enhanced tea.
Gardenia, also known as huang zhizi or mountain gardenia, is an evergreen shrub and one of China’s traditional fragrant flowers. It has long been used in the art of scenting tea.
This Gardenia Black Tea is made by scenting freshly picked gardenia blossoms with spring-harvested Yunnan black tea, using a three-round traditional scenting process.
When June gardenias meet black tea, the flower’s bold, heady fragrance softens into a gentle, elegant aroma. The warmth and richness of the black tea lift the gardenia’s cool, refreshing scent, creating a perfectly balanced harmony.
The first sip brings a clear and delicate gardenia aroma—like walking into a garden in full bloom, instantly awakening the senses. The liquor is smooth and full-bodied, with the gardenia’s natural sweetness melding beautifully with the tea’s mellow depth. A lingering, sweet finish remains long after each sip.
This tea is not only an expression of traditional scenting craftsmanship, but also a soothing gift from nature. In traditional Chinese medicine, gardenia is believed to help clear heat and relieve symptoms such as dry mouth, sore throat, and irritability.
The cooling character of the flower combines with the comforting warmth of black tea, creating a brew that is both rich and refreshing. It’s enjoyable in all seasons, and especially uplifting in summer when you want something cooling, cleansing, and effortlessly calming.

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.
