First Flush Spring Green Tea Collection brings together four of China’s most iconic green teas — all harvested as First Flush, the very first picking of early spring.

Green tea is prized for its freshness, and nothing is more sought after than the first harvest after winter. After months of dormancy, the tender buds are hand-picked to the traditional one bud, one leaf standard. Naturally rich in amino acids, these early spring leaves deliver freshness at its peak — vibrant, smooth, and delicately sweet.

Like Japanese Shincha, First Flush tea is meant to be enjoyed fresh. Once sold out, it will not be replenished until next year’s spring harvest.

Longjing is one of China’s most renowned green teas. Our First Flush Longjing— the very first picking of early spring, harvested after the tea trees awaken from winter dormancy.
Picked to the traditional one bud, one leaf standard — with the first leaf just beginning to open — it represents the most prized stage of spring growth.
After resting through the entire winter, the tender shoots slowly accumulate nutrients and develop naturally high amino acid levels. 
As the yellow-green buds unfurl in water, it feels like watching spring come alive in your cup.

Biluochun is one of China’s most delicate and aromatic green teas, traditionally grown around Dongting Mountain in Jiangsu. This edition is First Flush — the very first picking of early spring, harvested just as the tea trees awaken from winter dormancy.

Picked to the fine standard of one bud with one tender leaf, the tiny, downy shoots are hand-rolled into tight spirals. After resting through winter, the young buds naturally accumulate nutrients and higher amino acid levels, giving the tea its signature fresh, lively, and gently sweet character.

As the leaves unfurl in water, they release a soft floral fragrance — capturing the light, vibrant spirit of spring.

Huangshan Maofeng is a classic high-mountain green tea from Anhui, known for its elegant buds and refined character. This edition is First Flush — the very first picking of early spring, harvested as the tea trees awaken from winter dormancy.

Picked to the traditional one bud with one tender leaf standard, the young shoots are slender, softly downy, and naturally vibrant. After months of winter rest, the buds accumulate rich nutrients and higher levels of amino acids, giving the tea its signature fresh, clean, and gently sweet profile.

Grown in misty mountain terrain, this first harvest captures the pure, uplifting spirit of early spring in every cup.

Enshi Yulu is one of China’s rare steamed green teas, preserving an ancient processing tradition. This edition is First Flush — the very first picking of early spring, harvested as the tea trees awaken from winter dormancy.

Picked to the delicate one bud with one tender leaf standard, the young shoots are slender and vibrant. After resting through the winter months, the buds naturally accumulate nutrients and higher amino acid levels, resulting in a tea that is exceptionally fresh, smooth, and umami-rich.

Grown in the misty mountains of Enshi and crafted using traditional steaming techniques, this first harvest delivers a bright green liquor and a clean, lingering sweetness — a pure expression of spring at high elevation.

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.

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.

Wusandi, located in the heart of the Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve, is a high-mountain tea region renowned for its old-bush Shui Xian.

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.

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.

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.
