2025 Longjing First Flush Spring Tea   - Limited Stock green tea

We’re thrilled to introduce our 2025 Early Spring First Flush Longjing Tea, handcrafted by the expert Master Sheng Jiangjun. With over 20 years of tea-making experience and more than 30 years specializing in Longjing tea, Master Sheng is a true guardian of traditional tea-making techniques. From 2011 to 2013, he honed his craft in the heart of the Longjing tea-producing region, Meijiawu. Later, he established his own tea workshop in Xingchang, Zhejiang, where he began crafting the distinctive Xingchang Longjing tea that we proudly present to you today.

This particular tea comes from a high-altitude tea garden in the mountains of Zhejiang’s Xingchang region, with harvesting taking place around March 25th, making it a premium first flush green tea—early-picked, tender, and rare.

Why Our Early Spring Harvest Stands Out
Discover the pinnacle of spring tea craftsmanship with our limited 2025 First Flush Longjing. Harvested in late March from the youngest buds of century-old tea bushes, these tender leaves capture the essence of the season with unmatched floral aroma and velvety smoothness.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Enshi Yulu First Flush - Jade Dew Limited Edition
We’re excited to bring you the 2025 Early Spring First Pluck Enshi Yulu, a premium green tea from Enshi City, Hubei Province, located in the beautiful Baiyangping Township. This tea is grown in the heart of the Enshi Yulu region at an elevation of 800-900 meters, surrounded by fresh, clean air and pristine nature—one of the core growing areas for Enshi Yulu. Master Zhang Yi, with over 20 years of tea-making experience, is a national-level senior tea master and tea evaluator. He follows in his father’s footsteps, blending traditional tea-making skills with modern techniques to craft every leaf with care. The leaves are picked around March 20th, during the first pluck of the season, when the leaves are at their freshest with a tender bud and one leaf.

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.

Introduction:
This Jasmine Bai Hao is meticulously selected from the spring harvest of 2023. Plucked from high-altitude tea gardens in northern Fujian, at elevations of approximately 1000 meters, the exceptional growing conditions impart a fresh and richly layered flavor to this jasmine tea. The plucking standard of exclusively whole buds, combined with nine scenting processes, ensures a vibrant, luxurious floral aroma, a refreshing and mellow taste, and a sweet, lingering aftertaste with a hint of rock sugar sweetness.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Core Production Area: Grown in northern Fujian, where the climate is warm, humid, and evergreen year-round. With abundant sunshine, ample rainfall, and a frost-free period of 326 days, the region provides an ideal environment for tea cultivation.
• Scenting Process: Fuding Big Pekoe serves as the tea base, while jasmine flowers from Fuzhou, Fujian, are used for scenting. The traditional scenting process is repeated nine times, resulting in a tea that is described as uplifting, soothing, and warming, evoking the image of a jasmine flower slowly blooming.
• Whole Bud Material: The plump, straight bud tips are covered in abundant, visible white hairs, indicating their tenderness. These buds absorb the jasmine fragrance more effectively during scenting, resulting in a more intense, fresh aroma and a smoother taste. The tea retains its flavor and aroma even after multiple infusions.

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.

In China, top-grade Longjing tea comes exclusively from the core West Lake production area, with the most authentic variety, ideally picked early in spring as bud tips or one bud and one leaf to be considered the crème de la crème of Longjing.
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. For those who wish to experience the authentic, top-tier West Lake Longjing crafted by a master, this tea is a must-try.

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.

Aged Tree Phoenix Dancong - Honey Orchid Aroma
Winner of the 2025 World Tea Expo - Best Oolong Tea

Expected shipping around April 15-20

• Tea Master: Chen Tianjin(陈添锦)

• Tea Variety: Honey Orchid (Mi Lan Xiang)

• Origin: Da’an Village, Fenghuang Town, Guangdong – 1000m elevation, core Phoenix Dancong terroir

• Tree Age: 50-70 years

• Harvest Time: May 2024

• Oxidation Level: 35-40%

• Roasting: Traditional triple charcoal roasting

  • 1st roast (June 2024): 80-90°C

  • 2nd roast (August 2024): 100-105°C

  • 3rd roast (October 2024): 90-100°C

A Rare Expression of Phoenix Dancong

Sourced from Da’an Village, one of the most prestigious Phoenix Dancong growing areas, this tea comes from ancient trees 50-70 years old. Nestled in the Wu Dong Mountain range (985m-1100m elevation), this region has a 700-year-old tea-making tradition, with traditional charcoal roasting.

Why Ancient Tree Honey Orchid?

• Incredible Longevity: Can be brewed 15+ times while maintaining full-bodied flavor

• Richer, More Complex Aroma: Ancient trees absorb more nutrients, producing tea with intense floral fragrance and lingering sweetness

• Deeper, Fuller Taste: Higher levels of polyphenols and amino acids create a smooth, thick mouthfeel with a strong returning sweetness

Traditional Charcoal Roasting – A True Connoisseur’s Choice

Unlike electric roasting, charcoal roasting enhances aroma and depth, removing any bitterness while preserving the tea’s unique characteristics. The process allows the leaves to absorb negative ions and far-infrared energy, creating a deeper, more complex roasted note.

Additionally, charcoal-roasted Dancong:

• Ages gracefully, developing richer flavors over time

• Has lower moisture content, making it easier to store

• Requires multiple rounds of small-batch roasting to ensure perfect consistency

The result? A tea that is visually stunning, rich in flavor, highly aromatic, and naturally sweet—a stark contrast to the mild taste and cloudy appearance of electrically roasted teas.

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.

Wuyi Rougui is one of the most famous varieties of Wuyi Rock Tea, named for its sharp, cinnamon-like aroma.

The Rougui from Foguoyan features a pronounced rock character with a distinct cinnamon aroma, layered with fruit and floral notes. The liquor is rich, full-bodied, and lingering.

Wusandi, located in the heart of the Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve, is a high-mountain tea region renowned for its old-bush Shui Xian. Although these old-bush Shui Xian trees grow outside the Wuyi Rock tea core regions, their age and quality make them a “dark horse” among Wuyi Rock Teas, comparable to zhengyan old-bush Shui Xian, and highly favored by tea enthusiasts.
This Wuyi Shui Xian is made from tea trees over 70 years old and roasted using traditional Wuyi charcoal-roasting methods. It features a pure old-cultivar aroma (mainly woody), with a subtle floral note. The liquor is soft, smooth, and rounded, gradually deepening in flavor as it unfolds in the mouth.

Matouyan is one of the top producing areas of Zhengyan Wuyi Rock Tea, located adjacent to Wuyuanjian. With open terrain, ample sunlight, and purple sandy-gravel soil ideal for growing Rougui and other tea trees, it is renowned for producing exceptional teas.

Niu Lan Keng is one of the core Zhengyan producing areas of Wuyi Rock Tea, belonging to the famous “Three Pits and Two Ravines.” The area is nourished year-round by flowing streams from rock crevices, with high humidity, misty air, limited sunlight inside the pit, and mineral-rich soil. These conditions create a cool, shaded environment ideal for tea trees.
The Wuyi Rougui produced here—often referred to as “Niu Rou”—is highly prized for its rarity and extremely limited yield, earning it the title “King of Rock Tea.” Its signature cinnamon note is sharp, bold, and highly penetrating, layered with osmanthus, floral, and fruity aromas. Unique to Niu Lan Keng, it also carries a distinct “ravine character”—a mossy, mineral freshness reminiscent of a primeval forest—which adds depth and authenticity to its terroir expression.
On the palate, it strikes a balance of strength and finesse: the cinnamon’s spicy sharpness is complemented by a smooth, delicate liquor, hiding inner power. The rock rhyme is pronounced, with a quick and lasting sweet aftertaste.

Wuyuanjian is one of the core Zhengyan producing areas of Wuyi Rock Tea, belonging to the famous “Three Pits and Two Ravines,” and is one of the two ravines. The area is shrouded in mist throughout the year, nourished by flowing streams, with a humid climate and soil rich in fine sandy gravel and minerals.
