Tie Guan Yin (Traditional Charcoal-Roasted Oolong) | 浓香型铁观音（炭焙）

Introduction

Tie Guan Yin is one of the most iconic oolong teas from China’s Fujian province. While its light-roast counterpart is known for floral fragrance, this traditional roasted style highlights a different spectrum—mellow body, dried fruit depth, and layered complexity.

Expect caramel sweetness, notes of longan and jujube, and a honeyed aftertaste. It’s a refined yet accessible choice for those who enjoy structure, warmth, and endurance in their oolongs.

Wuyi Rou Gui (High Mountain Cinnamon Rock Oolong) | 武夷高山肉桂
Introduction
Rou Gui is one of the most iconic Wuyi rock oolongs, known for its bold, spicy character and its signature cinnamon-like aroma. Grown in rocky, mineral-rich soils and charcoal-roasted to perfection, it delivers a complex, full-bodied cup with layered notes of roasted spice, dark fruit, and wet stone.

This tea is sourced from Baizhang Village in Xiaoqiao Town, located just outside the Wuyishan core scenic area. Though not within the official “Zheng Yan” zone, Baizhang boasts over 1,000 years of tea-making history and was once a producer of imperial tribute teas. At 730m elevation, its high-mountain terroir—misty climate, sandy-gravel soils, and rich mineral content—meets the classic criteria for producing exceptional rock oolong at outstanding value.

After extensive tasting of Rou Gui from across Wuyi’s top areas, we selected this tea for its exceptional balance of flavor, structure, and price—making it our top choice for a daily drinking Rou Gui with true character.

Wuyi Shui Xian (High Mountain, Old Bush) | 武夷高山老丛水仙

Wuyi Shui Xian is one of the signature cultivars of Wuyi rock oolong.  it combines rich floral aroma with a thick, velvety liquor. Originating in the Qing dynasty, Shui Xian is the only semi-arbor cultivar among Wuyi teas. Old bush (lao cong) trees—typically 50+ years—produce deeper, smoother infusions with forest-like clarity, woodsy depth, and signature “cong” flavor. Compared to newer bushes, old trees yield higher amino acids and lower bitterness, making them more enduring in brews and suitable for medium charcoal roast.

This tea is sourced from Baizhang Village in Xiaoqiao Town, just outside the Wuyishan core scenic area. With a 1,000-year legacy of tea production and imperial tribute history, Baizhang sits at 730m elevation in the southeast Wuyi Mountains. The terroir—constant mist, gravelly soil, and rich minerals—creates optimal conditions for deep, layered teas at a more accessible price point.

We compared several Shui Xian teas from within the Wuyi core and selected this high-mountain, old-bush version for its mature flavor, authentic craftsmanship, and outstanding value. With a taste profile reminiscent of 40–50-year-style Shui Xian, this tea is not only beginner-friendly but also worthy of daily storage and long-term appreciation by seasoned drinkers.

Wild oolong tea, produced in Li Jiang Village, Longsheng County, Guilin, Guangxi. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the region boasts rich organic soil, strong sunlight, and frequent rainfall, at an altitude of around 1000 meters. Grown in a pristine ecological environment with abundant vegetation, this wild oolong tea is cultivated without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, resulting in limited yield with only one spring harvest per year. Processed using the techniques of Wuyi rock tea, it offers a rich floral and fruity aroma, with a fragrant infusion and a burst of floral and fruity notes upon tasting. The liquor is bright orange-red, with evident golden rings.

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,
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!

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.

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.

Product details:

Craftmaster: Zhang Hansong (30 years expertise)

Origin: Jiangdong Village, Liyang, Jiangsu, China | 300-400m Elevation
Harvest: First Spring 2025 Plucking (1 bud + 1 leaf standard)
Production Date: Crafted around March 20, 2025

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.

Why choose Enshi’s native tea plant, the Entai Early variety?
For Enshi Yulu, we’ve selected the local Enshi native variety—Entai Early, a traditional “group variety” that’s been naturally selected and cultivated over time. This type of tea tree is more adaptable, has a longer lifespan, and offers more stable and complex flavors. It truly reflects the local environment and soil. Choosing group varieties ensures a purer, more nuanced taste profile, bringing you a natural, multi-layered tea experience.

What makes the core Enshi Yulu region special?
We’ve chosen the core tea-growing region in Enshi—Baiyangping Township in the Dabao Ping Group. This high-altitude area benefits from perfect growing conditions, with rich soil, plenty of sunlight, and a significant temperature difference between day and night. These conditions make the tea leaves grow slower and more concentrated in flavor, producing a tea with a deeper, purer taste that has both consistency and stability. Compared to other regions, Enshi Yulu from this area offers a more refined and authentic flavor.
