Someone asked, "I'm new to Chinese green tea and want to try some well-known varieties without compromising on quality." This collection is curated just for that. We've handpicked the top 4 out of China's 10 famous green teas: Longjing, Biluochun, Huangshan Maofeng, and Lu'an Guapian. We've sourced these directly from authentic growers in the classic production areas, offering great value for money. Additionally, we've chosen high-altitude teas from seed-propagated group plantations and crafted by tea masters with over 20 years of experience. Each tea is a spring harvest from 2024. Here's a brief introduction to each:

Lu'an Guapian:  A Unique Green Tea 15g
Lu'an Guapian is a historic Chinese tea that was once a tribute to the royal family. This precious green tea still maintains its unique traditional craftsmanship and flavor. Our gourmet Lu'an Guapian is handcrafted by a master with 30 years of experience, using leaves from the small-leaf tea plants in Qi Mountain, Lu'an, Anhui, grown at an altitude of 600 meters. Picked at the end of spring, the leaves are tender with a rich aroma and a refreshing taste. The end-of-spring tea is more affordable than early spring tea, with a more pronounced tea flavor and a slightly reduced aroma. Lu'an Guapian is picked by selecting only the second leaf from the bud and two leaves, discarding the stem and tender leaves, retaining the essence of the tea to ensure the purity and delicate freshness of the tea soup.

Biluochun: A Premium Green Tea from China 15g
Biluochun is one of China's most famous green teas, known for its high-temperature killing and initial pan-frying followed by slow low-temperature drying. Unlike Longjing's pan-frying, dried green tea has a distinct bean flavor, but Biluochun's frying aroma is not prominent, offering a more refreshing taste. This high-grade Biluochun has a slight floral and fruity fragrance, slightly sweet without bitterness, and abundant downy hairs. Despite its high grade and flavor, it's affordably priced because it's made from tea plants in Sichuan, not the authentic Dongting Biluochun from Suzhou, Zhejiang.

Huangshan Maofeng: A Delightful Green Tea 12g
Huangshan Maofeng represents the high-mountain green teas of China, grown from 60-year-old tea trees in loamy soil at an altitude of 800 meters. Crafted by experienced tea masters using traditional drying techniques, this tea offers a perfect balance of quality and value. It's rich in minerals and exudes a refreshing green tea aroma with a subtle orchid fragrance. Its sweet and gentle flavor is endlessly memorable, making it ideal for daily drinking, especially for those who prefer a sweet taste without bitterness. The spring-picked high-mountain leaves add to its unique sweet taste and soft texture.

Longjing: A Famous Green Tea 15g
We're committed to providing an authentic Longjing tea, different from the popular low-grade "machine-cut Longjing." Our tea is selected from the traditional Longjing variety in Lishui, Zhejiang, crafted semi-manually by Longjing masters with over 30 years of experience, combining traditional techniques with modern conveniences. We choose to pick our tea after Grain Rain and before the beginning of summer, when the flavor is similar to pre-Grain Rain tea, but more affordable. Our tea comes from high-altitude gardens (900-1000 meters), where the climate and altitude provide an environment similar to West Lake, ensuring superior quality and value.

Our Longjing tea is of a high grade, carefully selected from one bud and two leaves to one bud and three leaves, offering complete leaves in contrast to the machine-cut tea with more stems and incomplete leaves. Our goal is to offer a genuine variety and craftsmanship of high-quality Longjing tea at an entry-level price, ensuring every cup exudes the pure aroma and elegant taste of traditional Longjing

Wild green tea, produced in Kaishan Town, Hezhou City, Guangxi. The tea area is situated at an altitude of around 1000 meters, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with mist shrouding the area year-round. Grown in a pristine ecological environment with abundant vegetation, this wild green 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 techniques of Roasted Green Tea, it offers a rich and refreshing taste, initially slightly bitter but quickly turning sweet, with a fragrant and full-bodied aroma. The taste is complex and layered, with a unique apple fragrance and a lingering aftertaste. Even after multiple infusions, the aroma remains fresh and pleasant. The liquor is clear and bright, with a yellow-green hue, visually appealing.

We noticed that many popular Longjing teas are "knife-cut" varieties. These Green Tea are made from leaves cut after high-grade teas have been hand-harvested. As a result, they contain more stems, and the leaves are often incomplete, producing a weaker flavor and possibly coming from non-authentic Longjing varieties. We wanted to offer a Longjing tea that delivers the authentic taste, variety, and craftsmanship at an entry-level price, allowing more people to experience the true flavors of this iconic tea.

Why choose our Longjing?

Craftsmanship: Handcrafted by a Longjing master with over 30 years of experience, our tea combines traditional techniques and modern refinement.

Seasonal Selection: We’ve chosen 谷雨茶 (Grain Rain) tea, which is harvested just after Qingming tea. The taste difference is minimal, but the price is significantly more affordable.

High-Altitude Quality: Our tea comes from Zhejiang Lishui’s Longjing heirloom variety. The climate and high altitude (900-1000 meters) offer conditions similar to West Lake, but with superior pricing and quality.

Leaf Grade: Selected for its high grade—one bud, two leaves—this tea is always made from the freshest spring harvest of the current year, ensuring it is new every year. Ideal for those who enjoy a clean, refreshing taste with signature chestnut and bean notes.

Precision Hand-Picking: Each batch is handpicked to ensure no stems and minimal tea dust, ensuring a purer brew with authentic flavor.

This tea is perfect for:

Tea lovers seeking an authentic Longjing experience with superior craftsmanship, and flavor,
People needing a mild caffeine boost, as Longjing’s caffeine content is moderate, helping with focus and alertness,
Tea culture enthusiasts, as Longjing is one of China’s top 10 famous teas with a rich history and tradition.
If you're looking for an entry-level authentic variety, craftsmanship, and flavor in Zhejiang Longjing, this is the most cost-effective option we could find!

Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea – High Mountain Chinese Green Tea with Orchid Aroma

Huangshan Maofeng is one of the most renowned green teas in China, grown in the designated regions around Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) in Anhui Province.

This tea stands out for its elegant appearance—fine white hairs cover the leaves, and the bud tips stand upright like mountain peaks, which inspired its name “Maofeng,” meaning “Fur Peak.”

It delivers a refreshing green tea aroma, a subtle orchid fragrance, and a naturally sweet, smooth taste, making it a classic choice for both tea enthusiasts and newcomers.

Why Choose Huangshan Maofeng Tea?

• ✅ High Mountain Origin: Harvested from 60-year-old tea trees at 800 meters altitude, grown in mineral-rich pebble soil—ideal for producing rich, complex flavors.

• ✅ Traditional Craftsmanship: Carefully processed by tea masters using time-honored methods to lock in freshness and preserve the tea’s delicate orchid notes.

• ✅ Perfect for Green Tea Beginners: This tea is smooth, lightly floral, and never bitter—even with longer steeps—making it one of the best Chinese green teas for daily drinking.

• ✅ Excellent Value: Offers the ideal balance between quality and price, curated for those looking to explore authentic Chinese teas without overpaying.

• ✅ Clean Taste, Lasting Aroma: Unlike roasted green teas, Huangshan Maofeng highlights the pure taste of tea leaves and subtle floral undertones.

Introducing our exquisite Biluochun, one of China's most renowned green teas.

This premium tea undergoes a unique process of high-temperature killing and is first pan-fried until dry, then slowly oven-dried at low temperatures. Unlike Longjing's pan-frying, which gives a distinct bean flavor, Biluochun's aroma is more subtle and refreshing. The slow, low-temperature frying process ensures there's no seaweed taste in Biluochun. This particular grade of Biluochun is quite high, featuring one bud and one leaf, made following the authentic Biluochun craftsmanship. It has a slight floral and fruity fragrance, slightly sweet without bitterness, and abundant in downy hairs. Although it's not from the authentic Dongting Biluochun in Suzhou, Zhejiang, but made from tea plants in Ya'an, Sichuan (close to the Tibetan Plateau, with an average altitude of over 2000 meters), this tea offers excellent quality and flavor at a more affordable price.

Reasons to choose this tea:

Crafted from the fresh spring harvest of April 2024, with one bud and one leaf, indicating high tenderness and grade of the tea leaves.
It's a high cost-performance Biluochun green tea without compromising quality.
Sourced from high-altitude tea gardens in Lingshan District, Ya'an City, Sichuan, at an altitude of 2000 meters, processed with the craftsmanship of Jiangsu Biluochun tea. The price is favorable because it's not from the core production area of Biluochun.

Purchase recommendation:

This tea is especially suitable for those who want to try Biluochun as beginners or for daily tea drinkers who need a large supply.
If you must purchase authentic Dongting Biluochun from Suzhou, Zhejiang, please buy with caution. 

Introducing Lu'an Guapian
a historic Chinese tea with a royal past, once a tribute only enjoyed by the imperial family. This precious green tea still upholds its unique traditional craftsmanship and flavor profile. Our gourmet Lu'an Guapian is handcrafted by a master tea maker with 30 years of experience, using leaves from the small-leaf tea plants in Qi Mountain, Lu'an, Anhui, grown at an altitude of 600 meters. Picked at the end of spring, the leaves are tender, with a rich aroma and a refreshing taste. Late spring teas offer a more affordable price compared to early spring teas, with a more pronounced tea flavor and a slightly reduced aroma.

Those who like heavily flavored teas may find this one a bit too subtle.

Whether you’re interested in its rich history, great taste, or exceptional value, Xinyang Maojian is a perfect choice for anyone looking for a superior green tea experience.

Lu'an Guapian is a historic Chinese tea with a royal past, once a tribute tea reserved exclusively for the imperial family. Today, this precious green tea still maintains its unique traditional craftsmanship and flavor profile. Our connoisseur-grade Lu'an Guapian is handcrafted by a tea master with 30 years of experience, using leaves from the small-leaf variety tea plants in Lu'an, Anhui, grown at an altitude of 600 meters. Harvested in the spring, when the leaves are most tender, this tea boasts a rich aroma and a refreshing flavor, making it the optimal picking time of the year. Lu'an Guapian is selectively picked for the second leaf from the bud and two leaves, discarding the stem and the tender bud, retaining the essence of the tea leaf to ensure the purity and delicate freshness of the tea soup.

Why choose our connoisseur-grade spring Lu'an Guapian?

Top-tier tender leaves picked in spring: Harvested in the spring, these leaves are at their peak freshness, offering a more vibrant flavor, rich aroma, and a longer-lasting aftertaste with a higher degree of freshness in the tea soup.
Stem-free purity: All stems are removed, leaving only the carefully selected leaves for a purer taste, free from woody or astringent flavors, resulting in a refreshing and naturally sweet tea soup.

The natural growth of the tea plants ensures the natural flavor of the leaves.

Reasons to recommend:

This spring Lu'an Guapian is ideal for consumers who love tender and refreshing flavors. Its spring harvest, pure tea soup, refreshing taste, and lasting aftertaste are particularly suitable for consumers who pursue a high-quality tea experience.

Tai Ping Hou Kui is a renowned Chinese green tea from the famous production area of Huangshan in Anhui Province. This tea comes from the core region of Tai Ping Hou Kui, specifically Qiaoshan Village in Xinming Township, where unique climatic conditions—cool, moist weather and fertile soil—create an ideal growing environment.

Our premium Tai Ping Hou Kui mainly consists of one bud and three leaves, carefully selected during the harvest, which typically occurs around the Grain Rain festival.

2025 Huangshan Maofeng First Flush - Seasonal Rare Tea(Pre-sale)
We’re excited to introduce the 2025 Early Spring First Pluck Huangshan Maofeng, a premium green tea from Master Yu Chengshi's tea garden in Longma Village, Yanzihe Town, Jinzhai County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province. Master Yu has over 30 years of experience in tea making, specializing in Anhui's famous teas like Maofeng and Guapian. His tea garden is located at an elevation of 800 meters, where wild Jinzhai native tea trees grow naturally. These trees thrive in the pure environment, producing tea with natural aromas and a unique flavor profile. This year’s tea was picked around March 20th, during the first pluck of the spring season, using fresh, tender buds and leaves to ensure top-notch freshness and fragrance.

Expected shipping around April 5-10

Why Choose Jinzhai Huangshan Maofeng Instead of Traditional Huangshan Maofeng?
While traditional Huangshan Maofeng is well-known, we’ve chosen Master Yu’s Jinzhai Huangshan Maofeng because it offers the same exceptional quality and unique flavor, but at a more accessible price. Jinzhai is not part of the core Huangshan region, but its natural environment makes it an ideal place for tea cultivation. The wild, native tea trees here have been growing for many years and produce tea with a flavor very similar to Huangshan Maofeng. The purity of the environment gives the tea a quality comparable to that of the famous Huangshan teas, but with a better price-to-quality ratio.

Why Choose Huangshan Maofeng Group Varieties?
We’ve selected Huangshan Maofeng made from group variety tea plants because it captures the most traditional, pure Huangshan Maofeng flavor. Group variety tea trees are grown from seeds, so they have natural genetic diversity. These trees have undergone years of natural selection, making them more stable and adaptable, which allows them to better reflect the natural flavor of the region.

Compared to modern tea plantations with clonal, asexual propagation, group variety tea trees grow in a more natural environment with deeper root systems. This results in richer, more complex tea flavors. The older age of these trees and their long exposure to the natural environment means they carry the most original tea aromas, delivering a tea with more depth and layers.

2025 Biluochun First Flush - Rare Reserve Spring Tea(Pre-sale)
We’re excited to offer you the 2025 Early Spring First Flush Bi Luo Chun, sourced from the tea garden of Master Zhang in Dongguan Village, Dai Bu Town, Liyang City, Jiangsu Province. Master Zhang has over 20 years of tea-making experience, having learned from his father, who has been a renowned tea master for over 40 years. Master Zhang has kept traditional tea-making methods alive, using hand-rolling, roasting, and drying techniques passed down through generations. This year's tea is picked in late March, around March 20, and features tender, fresh leaves at the "one bud, one leaf" stage, ensuring the highest quality flavor and aroma.

Limited Availability: Only 50 packages available, each 50g

Expected shipping around April 5-10

Why We Source Biluochun from Liyang's Dai Town Instead of Lake Dongting
While Lake Dongting's Biluochun gets the hype, our Liyang Dai Town tea is the purist's pick. Think of it like craft beer vs. mass-produced lager – both quench your thirst, but one's got soul. Grown 60 miles west of Dongting in pollution-free mountain air, these old-growth tea bushes (the hardy 'Jiukeng' variety) have weathered decades to develop complex flavors. You get that classic Biluochun vibe, minus the touristy markup.

Why Handcrafted Beats Machine-Made
Master Zhang treats tea like a slow-cooked meal – no shortcuts. His hands knead each leaf to unlock natural oils (that's where the floral magic happens!), while factory machines just crush and rush. It's the difference between grandma's pie crust and frozen supermarket stuff. Want silky texture and aroma that dances on your tongue? That's the artisan craft talking.

Xinchang vs. West Lake: A Hidden Gem
We source exclusively from Xinchang, Zhejiang — a pristine mountain region 2,000+ ft above sea level. Unlike crowded West Lake plantations, our organic tea gardens thrive in crisp air and mineral-rich soil, yielding a cleaner, crisper cup with subtle honey undertones.

Old-Growth Tea Bushes: Nature’s Flavor Laboratory
Our 50+ year-old heirloom tea varietals (Longjing Quntizhong) are the OG of green tea. These hardy plants adapt to mountain microclimates, creating complex layers of flavor — think fresh chestnut notes with a lingering orchid finish. Perfect for tea connoisseurs seeking authentic, small-batch quality.
