Unit price perThis Award-Winning Mi Lan Xiang Dancong was honored with the Premium Award – Best Oolong (Long Oxidized) at the Global Tea Championship 2025.
Judged by an independent panel of international tea experts in Las Vegas, the Global Tea Championship recognizes outstanding teas from around the world. Our Mi Lan Xiang Dancong distinguished itself in the highly competitive oolong category for its exceptional aroma, balance, and craftsmanship.
The tea is crafted from leaves harvested from 50–70-year-old tea trees. These mature trees develop deep root systems that contribute to the tea’s concentrated aroma, rich body, and long-lasting sweetness.
Traditional charcoal roasting is used to bring out the tea’s full character. Unlike electric roasting, charcoal roasting enhances aromatic complexity, adds depth and warmth, and creates a smoother, more refined cup while preserving the tea’s natural floral character.
The result is a clean, silky liquor with rich orchid-like floral fragrance, lingering sweetness, and remarkable depth. Smooth, elegant, and highly aromatic, this award-winning Dancong is an excellent choice for tea drinkers who appreciate floral oolongs, refined texture, and a long-lasting finish.
This Top Grade Da Hong Pao is crafted for tea drinkers who enjoy the balance of elegant floral aroma and rich roasted depth in traditional Wuyi rock oolong tea.Compared with many heavily roasted Da Hong Pao teas, this version highlights a more expressive orchid-like fragrance while still preserving the smooth, structured character that defines authentic Yancha.
This Rou Gui offers a softer, more refined expression of Wuyi rock tea. Its signature cinnamon-like spice is gentle and elegant, supported by a smooth texture, natural sweetness, and a lingering mineral finish.
Grown in Fo Guo Yan, a lesser-known yet highly regarded site within Wuyi's Zhengyan region, this tea showcases a distinctive side of Rou Gui. Compared with the bold intensity often associated with famous cliff-grown Rou Gui teas, Fo Guo Yan produces a more balanced and graceful character, where sweetness, clarity, and rock rhyme unfold in harmony.
For tea drinkers who appreciate the depth of Wuyi rock tea but prefer elegance over power, this rare-origin Rou Gui offers a rewarding and approachable experience.
This Top Grade Rou Gui comes from Matouyan, one of the most celebrated terroirs within the core Zhengyan region of Wuyi Mountain. Renowned for producing rock teas with exceptional depth, structure, and mineral character, Matouyan is considered one of the finest origins for premium Wuyi rock tea.
This tea showcases the signature cinnamon-spice aroma that has made Rou Gui one of the most sought-after Wuyi cultivars. The dramatic canyon landscape, rocky cliffs, and unique microclimate of Matou Yan contribute to the tea's distinctive mineral-rich character and remarkable complexity.
The liquor is rich, full-bodied, and powerfully structured, with pronounced roasted notes balanced by lasting mineral depth and a long, satisfying finish. Bold yet refined, this Rou Gui delivers the commanding presence and layered character that experienced Yancha drinkers seek.
Ideal for those who appreciate traditional Wuyi rock teas with strong cinnamon aroma, robust body, pronounced roast, and the distinctive mineral character of top-tier Zhengyan terroir.
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. Unique to Niu Lan Keng, it also carries a distinct “ravine character”—a mossy, mineral freshness reminiscent of a primeval forest—which adds depth and authenticity to its terroir expression.
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.
This Top Grade Laocong Shui Xian is crafted for tea drinkers who appreciate the deep, traditional character of classic Wuyi rock oolong tea. Made from leaves harvested from 50+ year-old tea trees growing in the Zhengyan region near Yunu Peak — one of the well-known scenic and tea-growing areas within the core Wuyi Mountain terroir — this tea expresses the distinctive old bush character that Shui Xian is prized for.
Compared with younger tea trees, Laocong Shui Xian develops a fuller body, deeper texture, and more layered flavor profile. The tea features pronounced woody and mossy aromas, accompanied by a smooth, velvety mouthfeel and the grounded mineral depth characteristic of authentic Wuyi Yancha. Gentle roasting adds warmth and structure without overpowering the tea’s natural complexity.
Rich, mellow, and deeply expressive, this traditional Wuyi rock tea is ideal for those who enjoy wood notes and the bold, mature character of old bush oolong teas.
This Wuyi Shui Xian is sourced from Wu San Di, a renowned mountain terroir celebrated for producing exceptional old bush Shui Xian teas. The region is known for teas with distinctive woody aromas, mossy depth, and an exceptionally smooth, full-bodied texture.
Compared with more heavily roasted Wuyi Shui Xian teas, this version features a lighter roast that allows the tea's natural character to shine through. The liquor is brighter, smoother, and more approachable, while still retaining the rich depth and complexity that Shui Xian is known for.
Harvested from tea trees over 70 years old, the tea offers a remarkably silky mouthfeel, enhanced sweetness, and a long, lingering finish. Its balanced aroma and pronounced old bush character create a refined and deeply satisfying drinking experience.
Elegant, smooth, and expressive, this tea is ideal for drinkers who appreciate distinctive woody and mossy notes, balanced aromatics.
Ya Shi Xiang is one of the most aromatic Dancong oolong teas from the Phoenix Mountains in Chaozhou, China, known for its naturally rich floral fragrance and remarkable aromatic complexity.
This collection invites you to experience how the same tea changes across different harvest seasons. All three teas come from the same village and are crafted by the same tea master, ensuring that only nature—the season of harvest—creates the difference.
Spring, fall, and winter each reveal a unique expression of the same tea. Spring is soft and floral with gentle sweetness. Fall is smooth and rounded with warm aromatic depth. Winter is crisp and vibrant with a clean, lingering finish.
Rather than a single tea, this set offers a guided tasting experience that lets you explore how season shape aroma, texture, and flavor in real time.
Taste them side by side and discover how one tea can express three completely different seasonal personalities.
Wuyi Rougui is one of the most iconic rock oolong teas from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, China, known for its distinctive cinnamon-like aroma, mineral depth, and rich roasted character.
This collection explores how fire transforms the same tea. All teas are made from the same Rougui cultivar, sourced from the same origin, and crafted using traditional Wuyi rock tea methods—the only variable is roasting level.
Light roast highlights the tea’s floral brightness and mineral clarity. Medium roast brings balance between aroma, body, and roast depth. Heavy roast develops deeper, more intense roasted notes with a richer and more structured finish.
Rather than a single tea, this set offers a side-by-side tasting experience that reveals how roasting shapes aroma, texture, and overall flavor in Wuyi rock tea.
Taste them together and discover how fire defines the personality of Rougui.
Ya Shi Xiang is one of the most aromatic Dancong oolong teas from Fenghuang Town in Chaozhou, Guangdong, China, known for its naturally expressive floral fragrance and layered complexity.
This collection explores how elevation shapes the character of the same tea. All teas are made from the same Ya Shi Xiang cultivar and crafted by the same tea master, but sourced from different altitudes within the Phoenix Mountains.
As elevation increases, temperature, sunlight exposure, and growing conditions naturally shift, creating subtle yet noticeable differences in aroma intensity, structure, and mouthfeel.
Rather than a single expression, this set offers a guided tasting experience that reveals how geography influences the personality of the same tea in different environments.
Taste them side by side and experience how altitude transforms aroma, texture, and finish.
Oolong tea sits between green and black tea, and its character is shaped primarily by oxidation level—a natural process that transforms aroma, flavor, and texture.
This collection explores how oxidation changes the same tea category across four iconic oolongs from Fujian and Guangdong. Each tea represents a different stage of oxidation, from light and floral to rich and fully developed.
Lightly oxidized teas like Tieguanyin highlight fresh floral and fruity notes. Medium oxidation brings balance and complexity. Higher oxidation develops deeper fruit, honey, and roasted characteristics, culminating in the rich, aromatic profile of Oriental Beauty.
Rather than a single style of tea, this set offers a guided tasting experience that reveals how oxidation defines the core identity of oolong tea.
Taste them side by side and discover how natural enzymatic change shape flavor from light to deep.
Oolong tea roasting is where tradition and modern technique diverge. For centuries, tea masters have relied on slow charcoal fire to shape depth and complexity. Today, electric roasting offers precision, consistency, and a cleaner aromatic profile.
This collection compares both roasting philosophies through two iconic oolong teas—Wuyi Rougui from Fujian and Phoenix Dancong from Guangdong. Each tea is prepared in two versions: charcoal-roasted and electric-roasted.
Charcoal roasting enhances depth, body, and complexity, while electric roasting highlights freshness, clarity, and floral brightness. Together, they reveal how fire alone can transform the same tea into two completely different experiences.
Taste them side by side and explore how roasting defines the soul of oolong tea.
Aged oolong tea reveals a unique dimension of tea character—how time transforms aroma, texture, and depth.
This collection brings together five vintages of traditionally charcoal-roasted Minnan Shui Xian, spanning from 1994 to 2024. All teas come from the same tea-making lineage, allowing time—not origin or craftsmanship—to be the only variable.
Fresh teas express bright orchid aroma and lively sweetness. As the tea ages, floral notes gradually fade, giving way to deeper woody, honeyed, and herbal tones. With decades of transformation, the tea develops a smoother texture, thicker body, and a long, lingering finish.
Rather than a single flavor, this set offers a journey through time—revealing how oolong tea evolves across 30 years of natural aging.
Taste them side by side and experience how time becomes a flavor.
Tea tree age is one of the most important but often overlooked factors in oolong tea. As tea trees grow older, their root systems deepen, mineral absorption changes, and flavor structure becomes more complex.
This collection explores how tree age shapes oolong tea character. It brings together Shui Xian teas from both Fenghuang (Guangdong) and Wuyi (Fujian), comparing young, mature, and old tea trees from the same cultivars and production methods.
Younger trees tend to produce lighter, fresher teas with bright floral notes. Mature trees develop more body, sweetness, and aromatic depth. Older trees offer richer structure, deeper minerality, and a longer, more lingering finish.
Rather than focusing on origin alone, this set reveals how time in the ground influences flavor in the cup.
Taste them side by side and experience how tree age becomes taste.
Soil is one of the most fundamental factors shaping the character of Wuyi Rock Tea. In the Wuyi Mountains, tea trees grow in dramatically different soil environments—from mineral-rich rocky ground to looser red and yellow earth—each shaping aroma, texture, and depth in the cup.
This collection explores how soil influences the same Wuyi Rougui cultivar. All teas are made from the same tea variety and crafted using traditional Wuyi rock tea processing, with soil type as the only key variable.
Gravel soil produces deeper minerality and structure. Red soil brings balance and smoothness. Yellow earth results in a lighter, simpler expression with a softer body.
Rather than comparing different teas, this set reveals how terroir beneath the ground defines what we taste in the cup.
Taste them side by side and discover how soil becomes flavor.

For optimal flavor, steep the leaves for about 3-5 minutes in water that's around 190-200°F (87-93°C). You can adjust steeping time and temperature based on personal preference. Many oolong enthusiasts also enjoy multiple infusions from the same leaves to savor the evolving flavors with each brew.
