All Tea

This premium Lao Cong Shui Xian comes from Jian’ou in Northern Fujian and is crafted from old Shui Xian tea bushes aged around 30–50 years.

The tea liquor is smooth, rich, and naturally sweet, with gentle woody notes and a soft forest-like character that gradually unfolds through multiple infusions. Subtle hints of aged wood, moss, and lingering sweetness create a calm and deeply comforting tea experience.

Shui Xian is one of the few oolong cultivars where bush age significantly influences flavor. As the tea trees mature over decades, they develop deeper woody sweetness, a rounder body, and the distinctive layered character prized in old bush oolong teas.

Compared with highly aromatic floral oolongs, this style is more mellow and grounded, focusing on texture, depth, and a soothing woody finish rather than intense fragrance.

An excellent choice for drinkers who enjoy smooth, full-bodied oolong teas with woody, forest-like complexity and low bitterness.

Rou Gui, literally meaning “cinnamon,” is a Chinese oolong tea cultivar known for its distinctive cinnamon-like spice aroma.

This high-mountain Rou Gui is grown at approximately 730 meters above sea level and belongs to a highland oolong style rather than the traditional Wuyi rock tea region. Compared with classic Wuyi Rou Gui, this version presents a softer and more balanced expression of cinnamon spice, with a smoother and more approachable character.

The tea liquor is warm, smooth, and full-bodied, with a gentle cinnamon aroma and natural sweetness. Its spice is refined rather than intense, making it easy to enjoy.

An excellent choice for those who want to explore Rou Gui’s signature cinnamon character in a softer, more accessible high-mountain oolong style.

Fuding Silver Needle White Tea is the purest expression of traditional Chinese white tea. Made entirely from the unopened spring buds of the Fuding Da Bai tea variety, each delicate bud is carefully handpicked during the short early spring harvest season, when the tea plant concentrates its most refined flavors.

Originating from Fuding, Fujian, the birthplace of white tea, this tea follows traditional sun-drying craftsmanship with minimal processing, allowing the natural character of the fresh buds to shine. The fine white hairs covering the buds give Silver Needle its signature silver appearance and help preserve its gentle sweetness and freshness.

Unlike White Peony or Gongmei, which include young leaves for a fuller tea body, Silver Needle offers a lighter and more elegant experience. Its beauty lies in subtlety: a clean floral aroma, silky texture, honey-like sweetness, and a refreshing finish that reflects the pure essence of the tea plant itself.

Perfect for those seeking a refined daily tea or a meaningful introduction to authentic Fuding white tea, Silver Needle can be enjoyed fresh for its bright and delicate character or carefully stored to develop greater depth over time.

A Boxed Journey into the Essence of Guangdong Oolong
From the ancient Shiguping oolong crafted by the She ethnic group over 1,500 years ago to today’s highly aromatic Dancong teas, this curated set brings together six signature teas from Chaozhou, Meizhou, and Raoping—the three core regions of Guangdong. A flavorful journey through 500 years of tea-making heritage.

Introduction:
This Hubei Dark Tea is meticulously selected from the autumn harvest of 2022. Plucked from high-altitude tea gardens in Zhaoliqiao Town, Hubei Province, it adheres to the plucking standard of one bud and three leaves. This tea is a type of Hubei Dark Tea known as "Mi Zhuan Cha" (Rice Brick Tea), renowned for its unique flavor profile. The tea liquor is rich and robust, with a slight initial bitterness that transforms into a lasting sweet aftertaste. It primarily exudes a floral and honey-like aroma, accompanied by a subtle aged fragrance.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Unique Raw Material: Mi Zhuan Cha is a specialty tea produced in Chibi City, Hubei Province, known as the "Hometown of Chinese Brick Tea." It is a compressed black tea made entirely from tea dust, which gives it the name "Rice Brick Tea."
• Distinct Appearance: The finished Mi Zhuan Cha is visually striking, with sharp edges, a smooth surface adorned with intricate patterns, and a glossy black brick color. When brewed, it produces a deep red liquor with a pure aroma and a rich, mellow taste.
• High-Mountain Tea Gardens: The tea trees grow at high altitudes, where significant daily temperature variations slow their growth. The abundant mist and moisture nourish the tea trees, enriching the leaves with nutrients and resulting in a tea with a robust flavor and strong aroma.

Roasting Level: None

Ya Shi Xiang is one of the most aromatic Dancong oolong teas from the Phoenix Mountains in Chaozhou, China, known for its naturally rich floral fragrance and remarkable aromatic complexity.

This collection invites you to experience how the same tea changes across different harvest seasons. All three teas come from the same village and are crafted by the same tea master, ensuring that only nature—the season of harvest—creates the difference.

Spring, fall, and winter each reveal a unique expression of the same tea. Spring is soft and floral with gentle sweetness. Fall is smooth and rounded with warm aromatic depth. Winter is crisp and vibrant with a clean, lingering finish.

Rather than a single tea, this set offers a guided tasting experience that lets you explore how season shape aroma, texture, and flavor in real time.

Taste them side by side and discover how one tea can express three completely different seasonal personalities.

Wild dark tea is produced in Anhua County, Yiyang City, Hunan Province, the birthplace of Anhua dark tea. The tea gardens are primarily located in mountainous areas at an altitude of 1000 meters. Grown in a pristine ecological environment with abundant vegetation, this wild dark tea is cultivated without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in limited yield with only one spring harvest per year. Processed using the Qiujiang Bopian Tea technique, it offers a pure and long-lasting pine-smoke aroma. The taste is rich, mellow, and sweet, with a lasting aftertaste and a unique pine-smoke fragrance. After consumption, a lingering sweetness remains in the mouth, leaving a memorable and unforgettable experience. Even after multiple infusions, it retains its distinctive aroma.

Aged oolong tea reveals a unique dimension of tea character—how time transforms aroma, texture, and depth.

This collection brings together five vintages of traditionally charcoal-roasted Minnan Shui Xian, spanning from 1994 to 2024. All teas come from the same tea-making lineage, allowing time—not origin or craftsmanship—to be the only variable.

Fresh teas express bright orchid aroma and lively sweetness. As the tea ages, floral notes gradually fade, giving way to deeper woody, honeyed, and herbal tones. With decades of transformation, the tea develops a smoother texture, thicker body, and a long, lingering finish.

Rather than a single flavor, this set offers a journey through time—revealing how oolong tea evolves across 30 years of natural aging.

Taste them side by side and experience how time becomes a flavor.

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.
A uniquely fresh and lively taste of spring.

This rose black tea brings together two signature ingredients from Yunnan, China: fragrant Yunnan roses and smooth Dianhong black tea.

Yunnan roses are known for their rich, naturally sweet floral aroma. Grown in sunny mountain environments with fresh air, they develop a deeper and more vibrant fragrance.

The tea base is Dianhong black tea, famous for its smooth body and gentle sweetness, often with notes of honey and malt.

Using a traditional Chinese scenting process, fresh rose petals are layered with the tea, allowing the floral aroma to slowly infuse into the tea. This process is repeated three times to create a balanced cup that is soft, floral, and naturally smooth.

This roasted Tie Guan Yin offers a warm, smooth, and full-bodied expression, representing a more rounded and mellow style within traditional Tie Guan Yin teas.

The tea liquor is rich and silky on the palate, with pronounced roasted aromas accompanied by subtle nutty and toasty notes. Compared with fresh-style Tie Guan Yin, it has less brightness and briskness, but a noticeably deeper warmth and fuller body.

Through medium oxidation and slow charcoal roasting, the tea’s astringency is further softened, resulting in a rounder, more approachable cup with enhanced depth and structure.

Ideal for those who enjoy roasted, warming oolong teas with a smooth and comforting character.

Jin Qian Liu, also known as Money Tree, is a traditional Chinese herbal tea made from the leaves of the Cyclocarya paliurus tree, a member of the walnut family. It grows mainly in the mountainous regions of southern and eastern China, where the trees thrive in clean, sunny environments.

The leaves are known for their naturally sweet and refreshing taste, with a light herbal aroma and a smooth finish. Jin Qian Liu has long been enjoyed in Chinese folk tradition as a refreshing herbal tea and is naturally caffeine-free, making it a great choice for those who want to enjoy tea throughout the day or in the evening.

Wild Shiya Tea, also known as Cliff Tea, is a naturally caffeine-free herbal tea from the high-altitude forests of Guangxi, China.

The tea leaves are tight, dark green, and rich in aroma. When brewed, they produce a bright green tea liquor with a fresh, clean taste and a gentle natural sweetness. Its flavor is refreshing and easy to enjoy, with a light herbal character that lingers pleasantly.

Pomelo Blossom Oolong is a rare floral oolong tea that captures the delicate sweetness of pomelo blossoms and the elegant character of traditional Chinese oolong. Unlike teas scented with heavy floral notes, this tea offers a naturally fresh and subtle fragrance, with a gentle citrus blossom sweetness that feels light, clean, and refreshing.

Crafted in Pinghe County, Fujian, the birthplace of Bai Ya Qi Lan and the famous Guanxi honey pomelo, this tea combines the region’s two seasonal treasures. Each spring, tea makers collect Bai Ya Qi Lan tea leaves and carefully scent them with freshly blooming pomelo flowers during the short 20-day blossom season. The result is a unique harmony between Bai Ya Qi Lan’s signature orchid-like aroma and the soft, sweet fragrance of pomelo flowers.

The tea opens with a delicate sweetness from the pomelo blossoms, followed by the smooth body and layered floral notes of Bai Ya Qi Lan. Its silky texture, refreshing finish, and lingering floral aftertaste create a graceful and memorable oolong experience.

A rich and mellow Liubao tea with a cool herbal aroma, deep body, and long-lasting sweetness. The smooth, full-bodied liquor has a distinctive forest-like character, with a gentle herbal note that lingers pleasantly after each sip.

Best for: Slow sipping, quiet evenings, and boiling over a gentle heat to bring out its deeper aroma and sweetness.

This Top Grade Laocong Shui Xian is crafted for tea drinkers who appreciate the deep, traditional character of classic Wuyi rock oolong tea. Made from leaves harvested from 50+ year-old tea trees growing in the Zhengyan region near Yunu Peak — one of the well-known scenic and tea-growing areas within the core Wuyi Mountain terroir — this tea expresses the distinctive old bush character that Shui Xian is prized for.

Compared with younger tea trees, Laocong Shui Xian develops a fuller body, deeper texture, and more layered flavor profile. The tea features pronounced woody and mossy aromas, accompanied by a smooth, velvety mouthfeel and the grounded mineral depth characteristic of authentic Wuyi Yancha. Gentle roasting adds warmth and structure without overpowering the tea’s natural complexity.

Rich, mellow, and deeply expressive, this traditional Wuyi rock tea is ideal for those who enjoy wood notes and the bold, mature character of old bush oolong teas.

Rare Wuyi Rock Tea Cultivars: Hidden Gems from the Core of Zhengyan

While teas like Da Hong Pao, Rou Gui, and Shui Xian have become well-known representatives of Wuyi Rock Tea, the rare cultivars—such as Tie Luo Han, Bai Ji Guan, Shui Jin Gui, and Ban Tian Yao—tell a deeper, more authentic story. These teas originate from wild, heirloom tea trees that have grown for centuries in the heart of the Wuyi Mountains, shaped by natural selection and careful cultivation. They embody the original genetic heritage of Wuyi rock tea.
Grown on remote cliffs and craggy ledges in the Zhengyan core production zone—places like Guidong Cave and Sanhua Peak—these tea trees sink their roots deep into rocky crevices, drawing in rare minerals. The result is a flavor profile marked by the elusive and unmistakable "Yan Yun" (rock rhyme) that connoisseurs revere.

Who would enjoy this tea?
This collection is perfect for those who have explored the classic Wuyi rock teas and are ready to dive deeper into its rare and distinctive varieties. It includes historically renowned teas like Tie Luohan, Bàn Tiān Yāo, Bai Ji Guan, Shui Jin Gui, and Bai Rui Xiang, along with newer, highly sought-after cultivars like Rui Xiang and Jin Mudan.
