Jasmine Oolong Tea
Authentic Jasmine Oolong is a premium tea that combines the fresh, fragrant notes of Jasmine flowers with the smooth, rich flavor of Oolong tea. The process involves carefully blending freshly bloomed Jasmine flowers with Oolong tea leaves during the drying stage, allowing the tea to absorb the flower's natural fragrance. The more times the tea is scented with Jasmine flowers, the more intense and aromatic the floral notes become. After the scenting process, the tea is dried again to lock in that fresh, vibrant Jasmine aroma.
For the best flavor, Jasmine Oolong is typically made with high-quality, lightly fragrant Tie Guan Yin Oolong tea leaves, harvested during the summer or autumn season. The result is a tea that’s perfectly balanced: the fresh, lively Jasmine fragrance mingles seamlessly with the smooth, creamy taste of Oolong. It’s like stepping into a garden full of blooming Jasmine flowers, where the sweet floral notes and the smooth, sweet tea create a refreshing, comforting experience in every sip.
This Jasmine Oolong tea is perfect for anyone who enjoys a balance of light floral notes with a rich, smooth finish—ideal for any time of day when you're craving something fragrant and refreshing.

Introduction:
This 2018 Liubao tea is sourced from high-altitude tea gardens in Guilin, Guangxi, and made from high-grade one-bud-three-leaf material. After five years of aging, the tea has undergone sufficient fermentation and transformation, developing a unique flavor profile with a distinctive betel nut aroma, a bright red liquor, and a smooth, mellow taste with a slightly sweet aftertaste.
Reasons to Recommend:
- Core Production Area: Grown in Liubao Town, Wuzhou City, Guangxi, where the average annual temperature is 21.1°C, annual rainfall is 1503.6 mm, and annual sunshine duration is 1915 hours. The abundant rainfall and vast mountainous terrain create an ideal environment for tea cultivation.
- Unique Aroma: The "betel nut aroma" of Liubao tea originates from a faint "pine smoke fragrance" in newly made tea, which transforms into the distinctive "betel nut aroma" after prolonged aging. This aroma creates a lasting "cooling" sensation in the mouth.
- Rich History: Liubao tea flourished during the Tang and Song dynasties and reached its peak during the Ming and Qing dynasties. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing dynasty, it was recognized as one of China's 24 famous teas for its unique betel nut aroma.
- Dual Benefits: Liubao dark tea holds a special place in traditional Chinese medicine. It is both cooling and warming, said to eliminate excess dampness while providing warmth when needed.

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.
