Soil is one of the most fundamental factors shaping the character of Wuyi Rock Tea. In the Wuyi Mountains, tea trees grow in dramatically different soil environments—from mineral-rich rocky ground to looser red and yellow earth—each shaping aroma, texture, and depth in the cup.
This collection explores how soil influences the same Wuyi Rougui cultivar. All teas are made from the same tea variety and crafted using traditional Wuyi rock tea processing, with soil type as the only key variable.
Gravel soil produces deeper minerality and structure. Red soil brings balance and smoothness. Yellow earth results in a lighter, simpler expression with a softer body.
Rather than comparing different teas, this set reveals how terroir beneath the ground defines what we taste in the cup.
Taste them side by side and discover how soil becomes flavor.
Wuyi Rougui is one of the most iconic rock oolong teas from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, China, known for its distinctive cinnamon-like aroma, mineral depth, and rich roasted character.
This collection explores how fire transforms the same tea. All teas are made from the same Rougui cultivar, sourced from the same origin, and crafted using traditional Wuyi rock tea methods—the only variable is roasting level.
Light roast highlights the tea’s floral brightness and mineral clarity. Medium roast brings balance between aroma, body, and roast depth. Heavy roast develops deeper, more intense roasted notes with a richer and more structured finish.
Rather than a single tea, this set offers a side-by-side tasting experience that reveals how roasting shapes aroma, texture, and overall flavor in Wuyi rock tea.
Taste them together and discover how fire defines the personality of Rougui.

Crafted in Jinhua, Zhejiang, this tea uses tender spring-picked Biluochun green tea as its base, made from young buds and one-bud-one-leaf leaves. Freshly harvested Daidai flowers are carefully used for scenting, adding a natural citrus sweetness that softens the green tea’s fresh character and creates a smoother, more balanced cup.
The first impression is a lively citrus floral aroma, followed by the fresh sweetness of Biluochun. The tea liquor is light, smooth, and refreshing, with a clean finish and a lingering fragrance that combines citrus, flowers, and green tea notes. It is a unique expression of spring tea with a bright and uplifting character.

Harvested from tea trees over 70 years old, the tea offers a remarkably silky mouthfeel, enhanced sweetness, and a long, lingering finish. Its balanced aroma and pronounced old bush character create a refined and deeply satisfying drinking experience.
Elegant, smooth, and expressive, this tea is ideal for drinkers who appreciate distinctive woody and mossy notes, balanced aromatics.
Lingtou Dancong is a Guangdong oolong tea from the Chaozhou region, closely related to Phoenix Dancong. Compared with the intensely aromatic and highly layered style of Phoenix Dancong, Lingtou Dancong is especially prized for its signature “honeyed sweetness” known as mi yun (“honey charm”).

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.

Tea tree age is one of the most important but often overlooked factors in oolong tea. As tea trees grow older, their root systems deepen, mineral absorption changes, and flavor structure becomes more complex.
This collection explores how tree age shapes oolong tea character. It brings together Shui Xian teas from both Fenghuang (Guangdong) and Wuyi (Fujian), comparing young, mature, and old tea trees from the same cultivars and production methods.
Younger trees tend to produce lighter, fresher teas with bright floral notes. Mature trees develop more body, sweetness, and aromatic depth. Older trees offer richer structure, deeper minerality, and a longer, more lingering finish.
Rather than focusing on origin alone, this set reveals how time in the ground influences flavor in the cup.
Taste them side by side and experience how tree age becomes taste.

About Yongchun Beikeng Overseas Chinese Tea Factory:
Established in 1958, the state-owned Fujian Yongchun Beikeng Overseas Chinese Tea Factory carries a rich history and cultural heritage of tea production. At its peak, the factory was a bustling hub of innovation and craftsmanship, employing over 1,000 tea workers and producing millions of pounds of tea annually. Its teas, including Tieguanyin, were exported to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Southeast Asia, earning widespread acclaim and becoming a shining symbol of Fujian's tea culture.
However, by the 1990s, the factory fell into decline, and its once-vibrant grounds grew quiet. Unable to bear seeing his life's work fade away, the veteran factory director, Huang Shenghou, took over after its privatization, dedicating himself to reviving the factory and preserving its tea-making legacy.
Today, the factory's aged Tieguanyin not only embodies decades of tea-making expertise but also continues to showcase the timeless charm of Yongchun's Tieguanyin. The story of the Fujian Yongchun Beikeng Overseas Chinese Tea Factory reflects the dedication and innovation of generations of tea artisans, and its aged Tieguanyin carries forward this remarkable legacy.

Naturally caffeine-free, it is a great choice for tea lovers who enjoy a naturally sweet tea and want something comforting to drink at any time of day, including in the evening.

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.
