Loose Leaf Cold Brew Tea

Savor the Essence of Iced Tea with iTeaworld's Loose Leaf Cold Brew Tea Sampler. 

This rose black tea brings together two signature ingredients from Yunnan, China: fragrant Yunnan roses and smooth Dianhong black tea.

Yunnan roses are known for their rich, naturally sweet floral aroma. Grown in sunny mountain environments with fresh air, they develop a deeper and more vibrant fragrance.

The tea base is Dianhong black tea, famous for its smooth body and gentle sweetness, often with notes of honey and malt.

Using a traditional Chinese scenting process, fresh rose petals are layered with the tea, allowing the floral aroma to slowly infuse into the tea. This process is repeated three times to create a balanced cup that is soft, floral, and naturally smooth.

Introduction:
This Jasmine Zhen Wang is meticulously selected from the spring harvest of 2023. Plucked from high-altitude tea gardens in Jinggu County, Yunnan Province, at elevations of approximately 1200 meters, the exceptional growing conditions impart a fresh and richly layered flavor to this jasmine tea. The plucking standard of primarily bud tips, combined with seven scenting processes, ensures a vibrant, long-lasting floral aroma, a refreshing and smooth taste, and a sweet, lingering aftertaste.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Scenting Process: High-quality green tea serves as the base, while jasmine flowers from Hengzhou, Guangxi, are used for scenting. The traditional scenting process is repeated seven times, resulting in a tea with a full, lively floral aroma and a layered complexity that gradually unfolds in the mouth with each sip.
• High-Mountain Tea Gardens: Since ancient times, high mountains shrouded in mist have produced premium teas. This tea thrives in such environments, where lush vegetation and organic-rich soil, combined with extreme daily temperature fluctuations, enhance the accumulation of flavorful compounds in the leaves.
• 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.

This tea was freshly roasted on August 31 and is recommended to be stored for a period of time before drinking.

Why shouldn’t freshly roasted Oolong tea be consumed right away?

Right after roasting, the tea has a strong charcoal aroma that can mask its natural fragrance and flavor. It also retains a certain “fiery” quality — caffeine and tea polyphenols remain high, making the taste slightly harsh or astringent and potentially irritating to the throat or stomach. Drinking it too soon can also lead to a feeling of internal heat, especially for those prone to “heatiness” or during dry seasons, known in traditional Chinese medicine as “shang huo” (excess internal heat). These symptoms quickly subside once consumption stops.

To avoid discomfort, let the tea rest before drinking. This allows the fire taste to fade (“tui huo”) and the tea’s components to stabilize. Once rested, the tea becomes smoother and more balanced in both aroma and flavor. Lightly roasted teas need about 1–2 months to rest, while medium to heavily roasted ones require around 6 months.

This jasmine tea is made with fresh Hengxian jasmine flowers from September 2025, scented three times with Guangxi Lingyun Baihao autumn tea. This specially selected autumn tea base is high in fragrance and low in bitterness, offering a natural aroma with no additives. The floral fragrance is pure, long-lasting, and the taste is refreshing. It's suitable for all seasons, whether hot or cold.

The plucking standard of primarily one bud and two leaves, combined with five scenting processes, ensures a pure floral aroma, a sweet and mellow taste, and a refreshing, lingering aftertaste.

• Scenting Process: High-quality green tea serves as the base, while jasmine flowers from Hengzhou, Guangxi, are used for scenting.

The fragrance is pronounced but not overpowering, and the tea liquor is refreshing yet clear.

Huang Jin Gui

This tea comes from a tea cultivar called Huang Dan (also spelled Huang Dan or Huang Yan), and the finished tea is known on the market as Golden Osmanthus, or Huang Jin Gui.

It was first grown in Luoyan Village, Huqiu Town, Anxi County, Fujian Province—the heartland of Anxi oolong. Huang Dan is considered one of the four classic Anxi oolong cultivars, alongside Tieguanyin, Benshan, and Maoxie.

By the mid-1980s, it had already earned national recognition in China: the cultivar was officially listed as a protected national tea variety in 1984, and the finished tea was named a “China Famous Tea” in 1985.

One of the Earliest Oolongs of the Season

Huang Dan is famous for sprouting early—often ready for picking by mid-April, nearly 20 days before Tieguanyin. Because it’s harvested so early, locals sometimes call it “Qingming Tea,” referring to the early spring season.

For tea lovers, that means you get to enjoy fresh spring oolong sooner than most.

Flavor Notes

Flavor descriptions are meant to help guide your experience. Every palate is different, and natural tea can vary slightly by harvest and brewing style.

Golden Osmanthus is often described as having a bright, expressive aroma. Many tea drinkers notice floral notes reminiscent of osmanthus, along with impressions of ripe peach, fresh pear, or gardenia.

These are natural aromatic impressions—no flavoring is added. The exact nuances you perceive may vary depending on brewing method, water quality, and personal sensitivity to aroma.

The Story Behind the Name

There’s a charming local legend behind “Golden Osmanthus.”

Around 1860, during the Qing Dynasty, a young man from Luoyan Village married a woman from nearby Xiping. After their wedding, she followed a Minnan custom: when returning to her husband’s home after visiting her parents, a bride would bring back a young plant—symbolizing putting down roots and building a prosperous family.

She brought back two small tea seedlings.

The couple carefully cultivated them and noticed something special:

• The plants sprouted earlier than others.

• The brewed tea had a golden color.

• The aroma carried a distinctive osmanthus-like fragrance.

In the local dialect, the bride’s surname “Wang” sounds similar to “Huang,” and her given name sounded close to “Dan/Yan.” Combined with the tea’s golden liquor and precious character, the tea eventually became known as Huang Dan, and later more poetically as Golden Osmanthus.

How to Brew Huang Jin Gui Oolong

Best Teaware:

• A gaiwan (recommended) to fully appreciate its high, aromatic notes

• Or a small Yixing clay teapot if you prefer a slightly rounder, fuller body

Leaf Ratio:
For a 110–150 ml gaiwan, use 5–7 grams of tea.

Water Temperature:
Use full boiling water (212°F / 100°C).
This tea’s aromatic compounds open up best at high heat.

Brewing Guide:

• Rinse: Pour in boiling water and immediately pour it off to awaken the leaves.

• First few infusions: About 40–50 seconds.

• Later infusions: Add 10–15 seconds each round.

Re-steeping Ability:
High-quality Huang Jin Gui can easily go 7+ infusions, with each steep revealing slightly different layers of aroma and flavor.

Yongchun Fo Shou 

Yongchun Fo Shou is a rare oolong from the high mountains of Yongchun County, Fujian. Its name comes from the leaf shape—resembling the Buddha’s hand citrus—and its bright, fruity aroma.

Legend says Buddhist monks in the 17th century grafted a tea tree onto a citron plant, creating this uniquely fragrant cultivar. Grown between 600–900 meters in Wuxi village near the protected origin region, this tea reflects both rich history and high mountain character.

It’s known for its distinctive citrus and pear notes, rounded out by a creamy, slightly floral finish. The taste is smooth and layered, with a lingering sweetness often described as the “Fo Shou charm.” Whether brewed hot or cold, this tea is a peaceful, full-bodied choice for those who enjoy fruity, elegant oolongs.

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.
