Collection Introduction
As winter's palette turns muted, we turn to the spectrum of flavor for comfort. This season invites more than just roasted warmth and floral notes—it calls for the sun-drenched sweetness of fruit, naturally captured in the tea leaf.
Presenting Orchard Hearth, a journey into the heart of China's naturally fruit-scented teas. We've consciously moved beyond strong floral scents or heavy roast profiles to curate leaves that whisper of ripe berries, honeyed orchards, and sun-warmed citrus. These are pure teas, needing no added flavors, that brew into cups brimming with the essence of a cozy, sun-kissed grove. They are the vibrant accent in the quiet winter months, a refreshing and uplifting warmth that brightens any day.
Why We Chose These Teas
Fruitiness is a universal language of delight. We selected these teas precisely because their natural, approachable flavors speak directly to the global palate, offering a welcoming gateway to the world of premium Chinese tea.
Sunshine & Nectar: Winter's Sweet Embrace

The Experience: These teas deliver the sweet, radiant warmth we crave in winter.

The Crisp Accent: A Spark of Freshness
Featured Teas: Qing Xiang Bai Ya Qi Lan, Gong Mei White Tea, Bi Luo Chun Green Tea.
The Experience: Who says winter can't be refreshing? These teas offer a bright, clean counterpoint to heavier flavors. Bai Ya Qi Lan presents a delicate fruitiness alongside orchid notes, Gong Mei White Tea evokes gentle honey and melon, and the precious Bi Luo Chun holds the fresh, subtle fruitiness of spring. They cut through the staleness of heated rooms, bringing a burst of mental clarity and revitalization.
Mellow Comfort: The Daily Cup of Serenity
Featured Teas: Zhangping Shui Xian (Soft Fruit Note), Shou Mei White Tea, Lingtou Dan Cong.
The Experience: These are your reliable companions for a peaceful winter afternoon. They are mellow, smooth, and incredibly approachable. Zhangping Shui Xian is softly soothing, aged Shou Mei develops a warm, date-like sweetness over time, and Lingtou Dan Cong is known for its straightforward honeyed charm. Their fruit notes are not bold but are woven deeply into the liquor, offering a lasting sweetness and profound relaxation.
In Summary, the Orchard Hearth collection is our gift to those seeking unique, approachable, and delightfully flavorful teas. It proves that warmth can come from sun-kissed fruitiness and comfort from vibrant clarity. It's the perfect answer to the winter monotony, creating a sunny, inner orchard with every sip.
As the days grow shorter and a chill fills the air, we crave a cup of tea that warms us from the inside out. It’s more than just heat; it's about the comfort and satisfaction that comes from rich, soothing flavors.
The "Cozy Winter Warmers" collection was created for exactly this moment. We've carefully curated ten distinct Chinese teas, each chosen for its ability to comfort and delight. Like a crackling fireplace, a soft blanket, or a warm hug, these teas are your perfect companions to melt away the winter chill.
Why We Chose These Teas
When winter arrives, we turn to teas that are inherently warming, rich, and sweet. The philosophy behind this collection is all about comfort, body, and natural sweetness.
The Direct Sweetness of Black & Flowering Teas:
Lapsang Souchong Black Tea: Offers a signature sweet, smoky aroma with notes of dried longan.
Sticky Rice Scented Black Tea: Known for its unique, toasty aroma of glutinous rice, providing a mild and comforting sweetness.
Rose Black Tea (Scented x3): A romantic and warming blend of honeyed black tea and fragrant rose petals.
These teas are smooth, approachable, and deliver immediate, delightful flavors that are easy to love.
The Toasty Warmth of Rock Oolongs:
Wuyi Shui Xian (Ban Yan): A robust, mineral tea with floral notes and a warm, toasty finish from roasting.
Wuyi Rou Gui (Ban Yan): Known for its warming, spicy cinnamon character and a rich, baked aroma.
Wuyi Da Hong Pao (Blend): The ultimate expression of a complex, toasty, and deeply satisfying Rock Oolong.
Osmanthus Oolong (Scented x3): The toasty base of the oolong is beautifully brightened by the sweet, apricot-like fragrance of osmanthus flowers.
These teas provide a solid, grounding warmth that lingers, perfect for a cozy afternoon.
The Smooth & Earthy Depth of Dark Teas & Aged White Tea:
Liupao Dark Tea: Exceptionally smooth and mellow, with earthy, woody, and sometimes date-like notes. Known for its digestive comfort.
Ripe Pu-erh Dark Tea: Deeply rich and earthy with a smooth, velvety texture and a warm, soothing character.
Gong Mei White Tea (Aged): While young white tea is fresh, this aged version has matured into a warmer, sweeter cup with honey and herbal notes.
These teas are the definition of cozy—soft, earthy, and incredibly soothing on a cold day.
Together, these teas share a common theme: they are warming, full-bodied, and feature inviting aromas of wood, natural sugar, and baked goodness. They are chosen not just to warm your hands, but to comfort your soul, making them perfect for sharing with loved ones during the holiday season and beyond. This collection is expertly curated to suit the American palate's desire for comforting and robust flavors in winter.
Wuyi Rou Gui is one of the most iconic cultivars of Wuyi rock oolong, well known for its distinctive cinnamon-like aroma and rich, full-bodied character.
This tasting-grade Rou Gui comes from a Ban Yan area (One of Wuyi mountain areas), offering a more rounded and powerful expression. The tea liquor is smooth, dense, and structured, with pronounced cinnamon spice and warm roasted notes that unfold layer by layer.
With multiple infusions, subtle Wuyi rock tea minerality and a gentle mineral-like texture emerge, adding depth and complexity to the overall profile.
Compared with lighter floral oolongs, this Rou Gui delivers a stronger, more warming, and more assertive experience, making it ideal for drinkers who enjoy bold aroma, rich body, and a deeply satisfying rock tea character.
Oolong tea roasting is where tradition and modern technique diverge. For centuries, tea masters have relied on slow charcoal fire to shape depth and complexity. Today, electric roasting offers precision, consistency, and a cleaner aromatic profile.
This collection compares both roasting philosophies through two iconic oolong teas—Wuyi Rougui from Fujian and Phoenix Dancong from Guangdong. Each tea is prepared in two versions: charcoal-roasted and electric-roasted.
Charcoal roasting enhances depth, body, and complexity, while electric roasting highlights freshness, clarity, and floral brightness. Together, they reveal how fire alone can transform the same tea into two completely different experiences.
Taste them side by side and explore how roasting defines the soul of oolong tea.
A naturally aged ripe Pu-erh from Menghai, Yunnan, offering a smooth, warming cup with rich depth and a clean aged aroma.
Made from Yunnan large-leaf tea and crafted as ripe Pu-erh, this tea has been naturally aged since 2003 in Menghai, one of the most renowned Pu-erh regions in China.
Over two decades of aging have transformed its flavor, removing the youthful fermentation notes and creating a refined aged character with hints of old wood, dried fruit, and a deep, mellow aroma.
The tea brews into a rich amber liquor with a smooth, silky texture and a warm, full-bodied taste. With very little bitterness or astringency, it remains balanced and enjoyable through many infusions.
A great choice for those who enjoy bold flavors, aged teas, or are looking for a comforting alternative to coffee.
A refreshing blend of Tieguanyin oolong and fresh gardenia flowers, offering a bright floral aroma with a smooth, candy-like sweetness.
Popular in China’s modern tea scene, Gardenia Oolong has captured the hearts of younger tea drinkers with its unique combination of floral elegance and refreshing character.
Every July, fresh gardenia flowers are harvested in Qingxi Town, Leshan, Sichuan, and carefully scented with Tieguanyin through three traditional scenting rounds. This process allows the gardenia’s delicate fragrance to naturally merge with the tea’s gentle sweetness, creating a smooth and harmonious cup with a clean finish.
The lingering aroma makes it enjoyable through multiple infusions, while its refreshing character shines especially well as a summer tea. Brew it hot for a silky floral experience, or cold brew it to bring out its crisp, refreshing taste.
Chinese Tea Starter Set is designed for anyone new to Chinese tea. Guided by our Flavor Discovery System, it features four iconic teas that represent the most distinct flavor profiles in Chinese tea.
From Fresh & Refreshing(Longjing) and Floral & Fruity (Mi Lan Xiang Dancong) to Roasted & Rich (Da Hong Pao) and Smooth & Mellow (2003 Ripe Pu-erh), each tea offers a different tasting 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.

Winter invites us to enjoy richer, heartier meals and cozy comforts. But these indulgences can often leave us feeling heavy and sluggish. Now, more than ever, your body craves a gentle aid to restore balance and lightness.
The "After-Meal Digestive Picks" collection is your essential winter wellness ritual. We've curated seven teas renowned in Chinese tradition for their digestive benefits. Instead of simply ending a meal, let these teas be your warm, soothing companion to ease discomfort, cut through richness, and leave you feeling comfortably light and settled.
Why These Teas Are Perfect for Winter
Winter's hearty diets and less active lifestyle make mindful digestion key. This collection is rooted in centuries of Chinese culinary wisdom, focusing on two categories celebrated as natural digestive aids:
1. Rock Oolongs: The Natural "Grease Cutter"
Featured Teas: Wuyi Rou Gui (Ban Yan), Wuyi Rock Tea 'Golden Peony', Wuyi Rock Tea 'Rui Xiang 305'.
The Winter Reason: In regions like Fujian, a pot of robust, warmed Rock Oolong is the traditional answer to rich, celebratory winter feasts. Their baking process creates a toasty, warm character that perfectly complements the season, while their complex profiles are known to help metabolize fats and relieve that overstuffed feeling.
2. Dark Teas & Aged White Tea: The Soothing "Gut Harmonizer"
Featured Teas: Liupao Dark Tea, Ripe Pu-erh, Anhua Dark Tea, Jasmine Liupao, 2014 Aged Shou Mei.
The Winter Reason: In Northern China and border regions where winter diets rely on meat and rich foods, Dark Tea (Pu-erh, Liupao, Anhua) is a daily staple for good reason. Through post-fermentation, these teas become exceptionally mellow and warming. They are prized for gently soothing the stomach and aiding digestion, making them ideal for managing heavier winter meals. The 2014 Aged Shou Mei, having matured into a warm and sweet profile, offers similar gentle comfort. The Jasmine Liupao adds a unique floral lift, cutting through winter's richness with a refreshing aroma.
In summary, this collection focuses on teas that are warming, smooth, and traditionally used to support digestion. They are not just a beverage, but a practical and comforting wellness practice for the winter season, helping you feel your best even while enjoying the coziness of the season.
Niu Lan Keng is one of the core Zhengyan producing areas of Wuyi Rock Tea, belonging to the famous “Three Pits and Two Ravines.” The area is nourished year-round by flowing streams from rock crevices, with high humidity, misty air, limited sunlight inside the pit, and mineral-rich soil. These conditions create a cool, shaded environment ideal for tea trees.
The Wuyi Rougui produced here—often referred to as “Niu Rou”—is highly prized for its rarity and extremely limited yield, earning it the title “King of Rock Tea.” Its signature cinnamon note is sharp, bold, and highly penetrating, layered with osmanthus, floral, and fruity aromas. Unique to Niu Lan Keng, it also carries a distinct “ravine character”—a mossy, mineral freshness reminiscent of a primeval forest—which adds depth and authenticity to its terroir expression.
On the palate, it strikes a balance of strength and finesse: the cinnamon’s spicy sharpness is complemented by a smooth, delicate liquor, hiding inner power. The rock rhyme is pronounced, with a quick and lasting sweet aftertaste.
This Top Grade Rou Gui comes from Matouyan, one of the most celebrated terroirs within the core Zhengyan region of Wuyi Mountain. Renowned for producing rock teas with exceptional depth, structure, and mineral character, Matouyan is considered one of the finest origins for premium Wuyi rock tea.
This tea showcases the signature cinnamon-spice aroma that has made Rou Gui one of the most sought-after Wuyi cultivars. The dramatic canyon landscape, rocky cliffs, and unique microclimate of Matou Yan contribute to the tea's distinctive mineral-rich character and remarkable complexity.
The liquor is rich, full-bodied, and powerfully structured, with pronounced roasted notes balanced by lasting mineral depth and a long, satisfying finish. Bold yet refined, this Rou Gui delivers the commanding presence and layered character that experienced Yancha drinkers seek.
Ideal for those who appreciate traditional Wuyi rock teas with strong cinnamon aroma, robust body, pronounced roast, and the distinctive mineral character of top-tier Zhengyan terroir.
Yongchun Fo Shou is a distinctive Southern Fujian oolong tea from Yongchun County, prized for its bergamot-like fruity aroma and smooth, rich tea liquor.
This premium Fo Shou combines bright citrusy fruit notes with elegant floral aromatics, creating a highly recognizable and refreshing flavor profile. The tea liquor is silky, mellow, and naturally sweet, offering a smooth and comforting drinking experience.
Compared with more purely floral oolongs, Yongchun Fo Shou stands out for its unique citrus character reminiscent of bergamot and Buddha’s hand fruit, making it especially appealing to drinkers who enjoy fruit-forward oolong teas.
Local tea folklore tells of 17th-century monks inspired by fragrant citrus plants when cultivating this unique tea variety, adding a touch of legend to its distinctive personality.
Suitable for both hot brewing and cold brewing. An excellent choice for those who enjoy fruity, floral, and smooth oolong teas.
