Introduction:
This Jasmine Black Tea is meticulously selected from the spring harvest of 2024. Combining Yunnan black tea from Fengqing, Yunnan, at elevations of approximately 1600 meters, with jasmine flowers from Hengxian, Guangxi, the exceptional growing conditions impart a unique and richly layered flavor to this tea. The plucking standard of one bud and two leaves, paired with fresh jasmine flowers and three scenting processes, ensures a harmonious blend of soft jasmine fragrance and the robust, mellow taste of black tea.
Reasons to Recommend:
- Core Production Area: The black tea is sourced from Fengshan Town, Fengqing County, Yunnan, where the average annual temperature ranges from 18°C to 22°C, with significant daily temperature variations and annual precipitation of 1200-1700 mm. The jasmine flowers are from Hengzhou, Guangxi, which enjoys abundant sunshine, annual rainfall of 1450 mm, and soil rich in organic matter, providing an ideal growing environment.
- Scenting Process: Yunnan black tea serves as the base, while jasmine flowers from Hengzhou, Guangxi, are used for scenting. The traditional scenting process is repeated three times, resulting in a tea where the floral aroma and tea fragrance are perfectly balanced.

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. Recognized as one of the top ten famous teas in China and listed as a national intangible cultural heritage, its traditional craftsmanship is personally overseen by the experienced tea master, Master Yu. 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.
Great value: Despite its top-tier ingredients and traditional craftsmanship, this Huangshan Maofeng is priced at half the cost of similar Longjing teas, making it ideal for consumers who pursue high quality on a budget.
Suitable for tea enthusiasts who:
Enjoy exploring niche high-quality green teas: Huangshan Maofeng is a niche tea in the Western market, with a unique fragrance and orchid scent, perfect for tea lovers who like to try new types of tea.
Prefer green teas without the seaweed flavor common in steamed green teas: Huangshan Maofeng is more refreshing and natural.
Seek value for money in green tea: This tea is affordable yet does not compromise on quality, especially suitable for those who wish to savor top-tier green tea within their budget.
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.
