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.

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.

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.

Introducing our Green Tea Leaf Grade Collection, a specially curated collection designed to help you discover how the picking grade of green tea leaves affects its flavor, aroma, and overall tea-drinking experience. This set includes two renowned Chinese green teas—Dragon Well (Longjing) and Huangshan Maofeng—both made from traditional heirloom varietals. The only difference? The picking grade of the leaves. You’ll be able to taste three distinct grades:
One bud, one leaf
One bud, two leaves
One bud, three leaves
Each tea is handpicked and processed by the same experienced tea master to ensure consistency in craftsmanship. By tasting the subtle variations from these different leaf grades, you'll develop a deeper understanding of green tea and find the perfect grade for your personal preferences.

Reasons for Recommendation:

Learn and explore – This set allows tea lovers to understand the direct impact of leaf grade on the tea’s taste, texture, and aroma.
Personalized tea experience – After trying different grades, consumers can better choose the perfect tea for their own palate.
Curated craftsmanship – The teas are crafted by the same master, so the only difference is the picking grade, ensuring a true comparison experience.
High-quality varietals – Made from traditional heirloom tea trees, these teas offer an authentic Chinese tea experience, highlighting the care and expertise in production.

This set is perfect for anyone curious about the nuances of green tea or those who wish to refine their tea selection skills. Whether you're a tea enthusiast or just getting started, this collection will guide you through the art of green tea grading and tasting.

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 Souchong Black Tea uses wild tea leaves from mountains in Guangxi Province. It uses a special tea-making method of traditional Lapsang Souchong technique. Wild Souchong Black Tea maintains the taste of Lapsang Souchong, while it has a richer flavor. Lapsang Souchong is the earliest black tea and it is called black tea originator. It has a history of 400 years. Lapsang Souchong is baked by pine needles or pine wood. As a result, it has very strong fragrance. Also, due to the bake technique, the color of the tea is grey black and the color of tea soup is dark amber.

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.
