Consumers who pursue high-quality green tea and pay attention to cost-effectiveness.
People who like the fresh and sweet taste of Longjing and want to experience the authentic flavor of the group variety Longjing.

Not Suitable for:

Biluochun is one of China's most iconic green teas with a legacy that spans a thousand years. It's renowned for its unique floral and fruity aroma, often hailed as the most fragrant tea among greens. Traditional Biluochun tea gardens interplant fruit trees with tea bushes, allowing the leaves to naturally absorb a rich bouquet of floral and fruity scents, creating Biluochun's distinctive fresh and natural fragrance.

Our connoisseur-grade Biluochun is handpicked from the collective species (Jiu Keng variety) tea garden in Jiangdong Village, Tongguan Village Committee, Daibu Town, Liyang City, Jiangsu Province. The tea is personally crafted by Master Zhang, who has 30 years of tea-making experience. He adheres to the most traditional hand-crafting techniques to ensure that each leaf embodies the authentic flavor profile of Biluochun. Master Zhang's Biluochun boasts a distinct floral and fruity aroma, a long-lasting aftertaste, and a refreshing spring vibe with a delicate mouthfeel.

This tea is harvested before the rain, selecting the high-grade one bud and one leaf tea materials. The leaves are plump and tender green, and the tea soup is clear in color with a fresh sweet taste, almost devoid of astringency. Although its flavor and quality are on par with products from the core production area, the price is only half to one-third of the core origin products, making it a Biluochun tea with both high quality and great value for money.

Reasons to recommend:

Unique floral and fruity aroma: Biluochun's signature scent comes from the interplanted fruit trees in the tea garden. The dry tea has a natural, light aroma that becomes more pronounced upon brewing, making it especially suitable for tea enthusiasts who prefer a subtle fragrance.
Traditional handcrafting: This tea is handmade by Master Zhang with 30 years of experience, ensuring that the shape and flavor of each tea leaf are perfectly preserved. Handcrafted tea has a more delicate taste and a long, lingering aftertaste.
Great value: Although the tea comes from the surrounding high mountain tea gardens of the core production area, the quality is comparable to the authentic origin, but the price is only half to one-third of the tea from the core production area, making it suitable for consumers who pursue value for money.
High-grade picking: The tea is picked according to the high-grade standard of one bud and one leaf, especially before the rain, ensuring the tenderness and fresh taste of the tea leaves, and the tea soup is clear and bright.
Not recommended for:

Tea enthusiasts who prefer a strong roasted flavor: If you like the strong roasted flavor or bean flavor brought by the pan-frying process of Longjing or Biluochun, the floral and fruity aroma of this Biluochun may not meet your taste preferences.
Consumers with a limited budget: Although this tea offers great value, there may be cheaper options for consumers who are solely focused on price.
In summary, if you're looking for traditional craftsmanship, high quality, and a unique flavor profile, and you're fond of Biluochun's distinctive floral and fruity aroma, this connoisseur-grade Biluochun is an ideal choice for you.

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.

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.

Why Ancient Tree Black Tea Stands Out
Ancient tea trees, often over 100 years old, grow in remote, pristine mountain forests, free from synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Their deep roots absorb rich minerals and nutrients, resulting in tea with a full-bodied, layered flavor and natural floral or honey notes.

The leaves of ancient tree black tea are thicker and more resilient, with higher levels of polyphenols and aromatic compounds, making the tea exceptionally durable in brewing. Each steep releases consistent flavor and aroma, often lasting for many infusions.

Yunnan, home to over 56 million ancient tea trees, is known as the “kingdom of ancient tea.” With the introduction of the Yunnan Ancient Tea Tree Protection Regulation in 2023, these trees are now safeguarded to ensure their heritage continues. Ancient tree black tea is a unique gem, offering both a pure taste and a connection to centuries of tradition.

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.

Daidai flower comes from a small evergreen citrus tree and carries an aroma similar to lemon peel and orange blossom. It’s traditionally used both as food and herbal medicine, and is often made into essential oils, scented teas, herbal remedies, or even cooked in porridge. Jinhua in Zhejiang is one of the main producing regions. In traditional Chinese medicine, Daidai flower is known for supporting digestion, easing constipation, and relieving stress.

This Daidai Flower Tea is produced in Jinhua, Zhejiang. It uses early spring tea buds—ranging from single buds to one-bud-one-leaf—as the base, scented with freshly harvested Daidai flowers. The flowers add a gentle sweetness to the green tea, softening its bitterness and creating a more rounded, balanced cup. The liquor tastes fresh and lively, with a clear sweet finish and layered notes of citrus, florals, and green tea aroma. The fragrance is rich and long-lasting.

This tea is effective for aiding digestion and relieving constipation. Those with weak or cold stomachs should drink it with caution. One cup per day (about 400 mL) is recommended, as excessive consumption may cause diarrhea.

Introduction:
This Rose 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 locally sourced red roses from Yunnan, 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 red roses and three scenting processes, ensures a delicate rose fragrance perfectly blended with the robust, mellow taste of black tea.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Core Production Area: Grown in 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 region is characterized by its climate, where "morning and evening mists blanket the land on clear days, and clouds shroud the mountains on rainy days."
• Scenting Process: Yunnan black tea serves as the base, while locally sourced red roses from Yunnan 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.
• 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.
