Biluochun is a renowned green tea in Chinese history, and the top grade of Biluochun requires not only high picking standards and early harvest times but also the craftsmanship of a master. The tea we've chosen is supervised by Shi Liwen, a non-heritage cultural inheritor of Biluochun. Shi Yuewen, born into a family known as the "Tea King," has ancestors who were called "Old Biluo" for their tribute of Biluochun to the imperial court, and his grandmother, Zhou Ruijuan, personally pan-fried tea for Zhu De. Building on the traditional skills of making Biluochun tea, Shi Yuewen has created new methods for making Biluochun black tea and osmanthus-flavored black tea. In 2017, he was selected as a representative inheritor of the fifth batch of national-level intangible cultural heritage projects. The tea he personally makes is not available for purchase; it requires advance booking and is extremely expensive.

Meicha (also known as Vine Tea) is a naturally caffeine-free herbal tea made from a wild climbing plant native to the highlands of Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China. This unique infusion is traditionally enjoyed for its naturally sweet, refreshing taste and is rich in natural flavonoids. Grown in misty mountains and mineral-rich soils, Meicha is a soothing choice for tea lovers seeking a relaxing daily drink without caffeine or theobromine.

This product is among the finest Longjing teas. We've sourced it from the inheritor of the Longjing intangible cultural heritage, Master Weng Liwen, a tea master from the century-old Wengjiashan tea estate, and a national first-class tea appraiser. This pre-rain Longjing is hand-picked and pan-fried by Master Weng, featuring the Longjing No. 43 variety. It's a handcrafted Longjing tea, harvested early on March 26, 2024.

Weng Liwen
Weng Liwen is the inheritor of the century-old Weng Longshun Jingji Tea Estate in Wengjiasahn, the core production area of Shifeng Longjing, and he is also a national first-class tea appraiser.
He is closely associated with the craftsmanship of making West Lake Longjing tea and is one of the inheritors of this traditional craft. Weng Liwen has profound experience in tea making; he not only personally participates in the picking and frying of tea leaves but also is committed to teaching and promoting this craft to ensure the traditional flavor of West Lake Longjing tea continues.
Weng Liwen pays special attention to the manual frying of tea leaves in the tea-making process. He believes that the taste and quality of hand-fried tea are far superior to machine-made tea. He emphasizes that each step requires the tea maker to use their five senses, and the tea maker's gaze, judgment, and the warmth of their hands during the manual tea-making process are irreplaceable. Weng Liwen also mentioned that although machine frying is a trend in Longjing tea production, hand-made tea still has its unique value and significance.
Weng Liwen says, "Every tea maker has their own techniques and criteria for judgment. Personally, I believe that 'without floral fragrance, it's not Longjing.' Although floral fragrance, especially the orchid scent we pursue, is something that can be encountered but not sought.

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. 

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

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 freshness and aftertaste of high-mountain tea: Grown at an altitude of 600 meters, the slow growth cycle imparts a more refreshing taste and enduring aftertaste, with a rich mouthfeel and prominent chestnut aroma.
Handcrafted, preserving traditional skills: Meticulously hand-fried by a tea master with 30 years of experience, this tea retains traditional production techniques, ensuring the high quality of each leaf.
Authentic origin, unique terroir: Sourced from the core production area in Jinzhai County, Lu'an, Anhui, the small-leaf variety tea plants grow in traditional agricultural tea gardens with a history dating back to the 1960s and 1970s. The natural growth of the tea plants ensures the natural flavor of the leaves.

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 from the freshest spring harvest of 2024, 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,

We work with Master Yu Jianguo, a tea farmer with over 20 years of experience, to produce this tea, which has a fresh flavor and aroma.

Biluochun: As one of the most iconic green teas in China, Biluochun is renowned for its unique floral and fruity aroma. Our premium Biluochun is sourced from Liyang, Jiangsu Province, crafted using traditional methods, and picked at the pre-rain period, ensuring a fresh, delicate flavor with minimal bitterness. This high-quality tea offers excellent value, priced at half to a third of similar products from core regions.

Xinyang Maojian: A top Chinese green tea, Xinyang Maojian comes from the core production area in Shihe District, Xinyang, located in high-altitude mountains at 900 meters. The significant temperature difference between day and night creates a unique elegant aroma and a fresh, flavorful taste. Our 2024 spring harvest features the highest quality leaves, with fine white hairs indicating superior quality.

Enshi Yulu: This historic steamed green tea is the only one in China that retains this traditional crafting method. Our Enshi Yulu comes from the core area in Enshi, Hubei, handpicked and crafted by a tea farmer with over 20 years of experience. Using high-grade leaves, this tea is fresh, rich, and slightly reminiscent of seaweed, while also being rich in natural selenium, known for its immune-boosting and antioxidant properties.

Biluochun is one of China's most iconic green teas with a legacy that spans a thousand years. It's renowned for its unique floral and fruity aroma, often hailed as the most fragrant tea among greens. Traditional Biluochun tea gardens interplant fruit trees with tea bushes, allowing the leaves to naturally absorb a rich bouquet of floral and fruity scents, creating Biluochun's distinctive fresh and natural fragrance.

Our connoisseur-grade Biluochun is handpicked from the collective species (Jiu Keng variety) tea garden in Jiangdong Village, Tongguan Village Committee, Daibu Town, Liyang City, Jiangsu Province. The tea is personally crafted by Master Zhang, who has 30 years of tea-making experience. He adheres to the most traditional hand-crafting techniques to ensure that each leaf embodies the authentic flavor profile of Biluochun. Master Zhang's Biluochun boasts a distinct floral and fruity aroma, a long-lasting aftertaste, and a refreshing spring vibe with a delicate mouthfeel.

This tea is harvested before the rain, selecting the high-grade one bud and one leaf tea materials. The leaves are plump and tender green, and the tea soup is clear in color with a fresh sweet taste, almost devoid of astringency. Although its flavor and quality are on par with products from the core production area, the price is only half to one-third of the core origin products, making it a Biluochun tea with both high quality and great value for money.

Reasons to recommend:

Unique floral and fruity aroma: Biluochun's signature scent comes from the interplanted fruit trees in the tea garden. The dry tea has a natural, light aroma that becomes more pronounced upon brewing, making it especially suitable for tea enthusiasts who prefer a subtle fragrance.
Traditional handcrafting: This tea is handmade by Master Zhang with 30 years of experience, ensuring that the shape and flavor of each tea leaf are perfectly preserved. Handcrafted tea has a more delicate taste and a long, lingering aftertaste.
Great value: Although the tea comes from the surrounding high mountain tea gardens of the core production area, the quality is comparable to the authentic origin, but the price is only half to one-third of the tea from the core production area, making it suitable for consumers who pursue value for money.
High-grade picking: The tea is picked according to the high-grade standard of one bud and one leaf, especially before the rain, ensuring the tenderness and fresh taste of the tea leaves, and the tea soup is clear and bright.
Not recommended for:

Tea enthusiasts who prefer a strong roasted flavor: If you like the strong roasted flavor or bean flavor brought by the pan-frying process of Longjing or Biluochun, the floral and fruity aroma of this Biluochun may not meet your taste preferences.
Consumers with a limited budget: Although this tea offers great value, there may be cheaper options for consumers who are solely focused on price.
In summary, if you're looking for traditional craftsmanship, high quality, and a unique flavor profile, and you're fond of Biluochun's distinctive floral and fruity aroma, this connoisseur-grade Biluochun is an ideal choice for you.

This Huangshan Maofeng green tea is carefully selected from the renowned high-mountain tea-growing regions of China, harvested from ancient tea trees over 60 years old, thriving in gravelly soil at an altitude of 800 meters.

He adheres to the philosophy of traditional craftsmanship and hand refinement, combining high-quality raw materials to create this high-quality, affordable Huangshan Maofeng green tea.

Compared to the common Longjing tea, Huangshan Maofeng does not have the bean and chestnut aromas of Longjing but focuses more on the natural fragrance, orchid scent, and sweetness of the green tea itself, without any seaweed flavor. Its taste is fresh and elegant, and the tea soup presents a clear greenish-yellow, offering a very pure high-mountain tea experience.

Why choose this Huangshan Maofeng?

Top-shelf ingredients: Harvested from 60-year-old tea trees planted in high-altitude (800 meters) gravelly soil, these conditions endow the tea leaves with rich minerals and a unique sweet orchid aroma.
Traditional craftsmanship: Made by an experienced tea master using traditional drying techniques, preserving the natural aroma and taste of the tea leaves.

Not suitable for tea enthusiasts who:

Prefer strong pan-frying aromas or the bean and chestnut scents of Longjing tea, as Huangshan Maofeng has a milder and fresher flavor profile.
Seek very strong or full-bodied tea soup, as Huangshan Maofeng has a lighter color and softer taste, not providing an intensely robust experience.
By choosing this Huangshan Maofeng, you will taste a Chinese high-mountain green tea that combines high quality with great value, experiencing the true beauty of traditional handcrafted tea art.

Enshi Yulu is a long-standing Chinese green tea made with the traditional steaming process, making it the only green tea in China that still uses this ancient method. The steaming technique was passed from China to Japan during the Tang Dynasty and has since become the main process for Japanese green tea. With its unique seaweed aroma, similar to Japanese sencha, Enshi Yulu retains the essence of traditional Chinese tea making.

Our Enshi Yulu comes straight from the heart of its production area, the Banqiao Dong Autonomous Township in Enshi, Hubei, China. The tea leaves are personally handpicked and crafted by Master He, a tea farmer with over 20 years of experience. His garden grows local Enshi tea varietals, and he selects only the highest grade of one bud and one leaf to ensure every sip is fresh, rich, and sweet without astringency, accompanied by a slight seaweed flavor. Most importantly, this tea is naturally rich in selenium, an essential trace element that can boost immunity, combat oxidation, and help lower blood pressure. Enshi, known as the "Selenium Capital of the World," offers these health benefits through its tea.

Reasons to choose Enshi Yulu:

Unique craftsmanship and historical legacy: For tea enthusiasts who love to explore traditional tea culture, Enshi Yulu offers a taste of China's oldest steaming process with a seaweed aroma reminiscent of Japanese green tea. Consumers who appreciate the flavor profile of Japanese sencha will also enjoy the distinctive taste of the steaming process.
Great value for money: We've selected a mid-range Enshi Yulu that maintains the quality of the core production area and authentic craftsmanship while being affordable. It's a fantastic green tea with a high cost-performance ratio, perfect for those who seek quality without breaking the bank.
Health benefits: Rich in selenium, Enshi Yulu offers antioxidant properties and can enhance immunity, making it ideal for health-conscious tea drinkers.
Cultural charm: This tea is from the ethnically diverse Enshi region, home to the Dong, Tujia, and Miao ethnic groups, among others. Interested consumers can even visit Enshi to experience the unique culture and natural environment firsthand.
Not recommended for:

Tea lovers who prefer the strong, pan-fried aroma of roasted green teas like Longjing or Biluochun, as Enshi Yulu does not have those flavors.
Those who dislike the seaweed aroma: If you're not a fan of the fresh, oceanic scent that comes from the steaming process, Enshi Yulu might not be your cup of tea.
Whether you're interested in traditional craftsmanship, health benefits, or great value, Enshi Yulu is an ideal choice for you.

Introduction:

This Qidan Da Hong Pao is meticulously selected from the spring harvest of 2023.

Crafted by master tea maker Chen Hai, who has decades of experience, this tea guarantees a rich, sweet aftertaste with a subtle osmanthus fragrance.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Core Production Area: Grown in the heart of Wuyi Mountain, Fujian, where the average annual temperature ranges from 16°C to 25°C, the frost-free period lasts 253-272 days, and annual rainfall is around 2000 mm. The relative humidity is 78%-84%, and the acidic red soil, rich in organic matter and minerals, contributes to the unique flavor of Da Hong Pao tea trees.
• Pure Cultivar: The mother trees of Da Hong Pao grow on the steep cliffs of Jiulongke in the Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve. Due to their limited yield and exceptional quality, the purebred Da Hong Pao is propagated asexually from cuttings of these mother trees and processed separately.

Introduction:
This Ripe Puer Tea is meticulously selected from the autumn harvest of 2020. Plucked from high-altitude tea gardens in Mengku Town, Lincang City, Yunnan Province, at elevations of over 1200 meters, this tea is made from high-quality one-bud-three-leaf material. After three years of aging, it exudes a rich, aged aroma with notes of wood, earth, and smokiness. Its balanced, mellow flavor leaves a lingering sweetness on the palate, accompanied by subtle fruity and floral undertones.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Special Processing Technique: The "wet piling" (wo dui) process is a crucial fermentation step in crafting ripe Puer tea. It involves piling sun-dried tea leaves to a certain height, sprinkling them with water, and covering them with burlap to ferment under warm and humid conditions for about 24 hours. Once the leaves reach the desired level of transformation, they are spread out to dry.
• Three Years of Aging: The aging of Puer tea is a natural process of oxidation and microbial fermentation. During this time, polyphenols, amino acids, and other chemical compounds in the tea gradually transform, developing new aromas and flavors. Ripe Puer tea further develops complex aromas and a smoother texture through aging.
• High-Mountain Tea Gardens: Grown in high-altitude tea gardens at around 1200 meters, this tea thrives in an environment where lush vegetation, organic-rich soil, and extreme daily temperature fluctuations enhance the accumulation of flavorful compounds in the leaves.

• Authentic Origin: Grown in Anxi, Fujian, where the mountainous terrain and misty climate create an average annual temperature of 15-18°C, a frost-free period of 260-324 days, and annual rainfall of 1700-1900 mm.

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.
