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.

Roasted Aroma Tie Guan Yin (Traditional Charcoal-Roasted)

This is Tie Guan Yin the traditional way — medium oxidation, slow charcoal roasting, and a deeper, toasty complexity. It’s the flavor locals grew up with: rich, warm, and satisfying. The roast brings out a rounder body and layers of baked fruit, nutty notes, and subtle floral undertones.

Our roasted Tie Guan Yin comes from the same Longjuan village in Anxi. It balances the signature Tie Guan Yin floral aroma with a smooth, roasted sweetness — a perfect “next step” for those who enjoy depth and complexity in their oolongs. Great hot, and surprisingly pleasant as a cold brew too.

It’s known for its distinctive citrus and pear notes, rounded out by a creamy, slightly floral finish. The taste is smooth and layered, with a lingering sweetness often described as the “Fo Shou charm.” Whether brewed hot or cold, this tea is a peaceful, full-bodied choice for those who enjoy fruity, elegant oolongs.

Wuyi Qizhong, locally called "Cai Cha," refer to the indigenous tea tree varieties naturally growing in Wuyi Mountain. They are a sexually propagated group of plants and among the most ancient varieties in Wuyi. Famous Wuyi oolong teas such as Bai Jiguan and Tie Luo Han were selected from these rare varieties, making them the "gene pool" and a "living fossil" of Wuyi Rock Tea.

This tea belongs to the Ban Yan (Half-Rock) category. It opens with a floral fragrance, develops fruity aromas, and carries a unique mineral character known as "Yan Yun" (rock rhyme).

Da Hong Pao is the most representative tea among Wuyi Rock Teas. Due to its high reputation, many people even refer to all Wuyi Rock Teas as Da Hong Pao. The original mother trees of Da Hong Pao are located at Jiulongke in Wuyi Mountain, and they are now strictly protected from harvesting.

Que She (“Sparrow’s Tongue”) was selected in the early 1980s from the sexually reproduced offspring of the No.1 Mother Tree of Da Hong Pao at Jiulongke, Wuyi Mountain. It is considered a second-generation cultivar of Da Hong Pao. Propagated through asexual reproduction, Que She retains part of the genetic traits of Da Hong Pao, yet it is not a “pure-bred Da Hong Pao” in the traditional sense. Instead, it has developed into a distinguished Wuyi cultivar with its own unique flavor profile. Its name comes from its slender and delicate leaves, resembling the tongue of a sparrow.

This tea belongs to the Ban Yan (mid-mountain) category. Its aroma is dominated by floral and fruity notes, with prominent hints of gardenia and water chestnut sweetness. The fragrance is rich and long-lasting, with a particularly elegant “cold aroma.” The liquor is smooth and mellow, sweet and full-bodied, with a clear Yan Yun (the signature mineral “rock rhyme” of Wuyi tea).

Wuyi Shui Xian is one of the signature varieties of Wuyi Rock Tea. Alongside Rou Gui, it is known by the saying: “For mellow taste, none surpasses Shui Xian; for fragrance, none surpasses Rou Gui.” Originating from Jianyang during the Qing Dynasty, Shui Xian was later introduced to Wuyi Mountain.

The age of the tea trees plays a crucial role in Shui Xian’s character. As the trees grow older, the liquor becomes more mellow, bitterness and astringency decrease, and the flavor complexity increases.

This particular Shui Xian comes from within the Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area. It belongs to the Ban Yan (mid-mountain) category, harvested from tea bushes under 30 years old (newer growth). Crafted using traditional Wuyi Rock Tea techniques, it delivers a fresh, smooth, and sweet taste. The mineral character (Yan Yun, or “rock rhyme”) is notable, with orchid fragrance as the dominant note, complemented by hints of bamboo or zongye (bamboo leaf) aroma. The tea has no heavy roasted flavor, offers 6–8 enjoyable infusions, and is an excellent choice for tea lovers wishing to further explore the world of Wuyi Rock Tea.

Wuyi Shui Xian is one of the flagship varieties of Wuyi Rock Tea. Together with Rou Gui, it is praised in the saying: “For mellowness, none surpasses Shui Xian; for fragrance, none surpasses Rou Gui.” It was introduced to Wuyi Mountain from Jianyang during the Qing Dynasty.

For Shui Xian, tree age is a defining factor. As the tea trees grow older, the liquor becomes more mellow and rich, bitterness and astringency diminish, and the flavor layers become increasingly complex.

This particular Shui Xian is grown at Yunü Peak, one of the famous Thirty-Six Peaks of Wuyi Mountain, within the Zheng Yan (core rock) area, the most prized origin for Wuyi Rock Tea. Crafted from tea trees over 50 years old, it carries a distinctive woody fragrance, combined with bamboo leaf (zongye) aroma and the characteristic “Cong Wei” (old tree flavor). The mineral-rich Yan Yun (rock rhyme) is especially pronounced. Compared with younger bushes, the liquor is thicker, more full-bodied, and textured, making it an ideal choice for tea lovers seeking to deepen their exploration of Wuyi Rock Tea.

One of Wuyi’s Four Famous Bushes, Ban Tian Yao is a rare and treasured tea, especially among seasoned tea drinkers. According to legend, during the Ming Dynasty, the abbot of Tianxin Temple dreamed of a white falcon being chased by a giant eagle. In its escape, the falcon dropped a glowing gemstone, which fell onto a cliffside. Later, monks discovered a tea plant growing there and carefully nurtured it. Because of its mysterious origin and ever-changing aroma, they named it “Ban Tian Yao”—meaning “Spirit Above the Clouds.”
This tea offers an evolving fragrance with each infusion. It starts with orchid and honey notes, followed by roasted almond and herbal aromas, finishing with a cool, delicate hint of plum blossom.

Bai Ji Guan is one of the rarest and most refined Wuyi rock teas, with a deep connection to Taoist culture. Legend has it that Bai Yuchan, a famous Taoist master of the Song Dynasty, discovered and cultivated this unique tea.

When brewed, it produces a crystal-clear, pale yellow liquor with a fresh, sweet, and layered aroma that evolves with each infusion.
