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

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.

The spring-harvested leaves ensure a rich fragrance and refreshing flavor, resulting in a pure, lingering aftertaste.

Taiping Houkui is a famous green tea from the Taiping area of Huangshan, Anhui Province, China. It comes from the core production region—Qiaoshan Village in Xinming Township—known for its cool, humid climate and fertile soil, perfect for growing tea. Our premium Taiping Houkui is made from one bud and three leaves, usually harvested around the Grain Rain season, with fine white fuzz on the leaves indicating top quality. The tea is grown from the traditional seed-propagated ‘Shi Da Shu’ variety, which matures later than usual. Due to the high altitude in Huangshan, the first harvest also takes place around Grain Rain. We work with Master Yu Jianguo, a tea farmer with over 20 years of experience, to produce this tea, which has a fresh flavor and aroma.

Biluochun: As one of the most iconic green teas in China, Biluochun is renowned for its unique floral and fruity aroma. Our premium Biluochun is sourced from Liyang, Jiangsu Province, crafted using traditional methods, and picked at the pre-rain period, ensuring a fresh, delicate flavor with minimal bitterness. This high-quality tea offers excellent value, priced at half to a third of similar products from core regions.

Xinyang Maojian: A top Chinese green tea, Xinyang Maojian comes from the core production area in Shihe District, Xinyang, located in high-altitude mountains at 900 meters. The significant temperature difference between day and night creates a unique elegant aroma and a fresh, flavorful taste. Our 2024 spring harvest features the highest quality leaves, with fine white hairs indicating superior quality.

Enshi Yulu: This historic steamed green tea is the only one in China that retains this traditional crafting method. Our Enshi Yulu comes from the core area in Enshi, Hubei, handpicked and crafted by a tea farmer with over 20 years of experience. Using high-grade leaves, this tea is fresh, rich, and slightly reminiscent of seaweed, while also being rich in natural selenium, known for its immune-boosting and antioxidant properties.

Jasmine tea is made by blending finished base teas with fresh jasmine blossoms, allowing the dry tea leaves to absorb the floral aroma. The resulting tea is known as jasmine tea.

Our Jasmine Green Tea Sampler features four types of Chinese green teas as the base, each scented with jasmine flowers through different numbers of scenting sessions—3, 5, 7, and 9 times. These teas represent a variety of classic green tea shapes in China:

Each variety offers a unique green tea taste. With increasing scenting sessions, the jasmine aroma becomes progressively more intense, allowing you to experience the true artistry of traditional Chinese flower-scented tea.
