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.

Osmanthus Oolong Tea
Hailing from Anxi in Fujian, the birthplace of Tie Guan Yin Oolong, this Osmanthus Oolong tea is crafted with a unique traditional method that combines the finest Oolong tea leaves with fresh Osmanthus flowers. The process begins with carefully selecting tender Oolong tea leaves, which undergo a series of traditional steps, including withering, shaking to release the aroma (摇青), rolling, and initial drying.

Pinghe County in Fujian is not only the core growing region for Bai Ya Qi Lan but also famous for its Guanxi honey pomelos. Every April, the mountains are filled with blooming pomelo flowers. Tea makers pick the buds just before they open and scent them with Bai Ya Qi Lan, creating the region’s unique Pomelo Blossom Bai Ya Qi Lan. Since the pomelo blossom season lasts only about 20 days, production is very limited.

This Pomelo Blossom Oolong comes from that origin. Its aroma blends the orchid-like fragrance of Bai Ya Qi Lan with the delicate sweetness of pomelo flowers. The tea is fresh, smooth, and naturally sweet, offering both the richness of Oolong and the light, cooling sweetness of citrus blossoms. You’ll notice the gentle sweetness of pomelo flowers at the first sip, followed by the unfolding depth of Oolong. The texture is silky, the aftertaste lingers, and the finish carries a refreshing hint of pomelo blossom.

Roasted Aroma Tie Guan Yin (Traditional Charcoal-Roasted)

This is Tie Guan Yin the traditional way — medium oxidation, slow charcoal roasting, and a deeper, toasty complexity. It’s the flavor locals grew up with: rich, warm, and satisfying. The roast brings out a rounder body and layers of baked fruit, nutty notes, and subtle floral undertones.

Our roasted Tie Guan Yin comes from the same Longjuan village in Anxi. It balances the signature Tie Guan Yin floral aroma with a smooth, roasted sweetness — a perfect “next step” for those who enjoy depth and complexity in their oolongs. Great hot, and surprisingly pleasant as a cold brew too.

Our tea is sourced from Gupo Keng (800m elevation), part of Anxi’s famed “Three Pits Two Gullies” tea region. Thanks to its unique microclimate and rich soils, this tea has a fragrant, elegant profile with notes of osmanthus, gardenia, and ripe pear. Light, sweet, and crisp — it’s a perfect everyday floral oolong.

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.

Baiya Qilan

Our tea is harvested from the high-elevation gardens of Daqin Mountain (around 1000 meters), where misty skies and selenium-rich soil help develop its rich aroma. Each cup offers bright orchid and pomelo notes, with a soft texture and a refreshing, sweet finish.

This is a refined, elegant oolong that appeals to both floral tea lovers and those looking for something rare and naturally sweet.

Daye Oolong 

Daye Oolong, or "Big Leaf Oolong," is a lesser-known but classic cultivar from Anxi’s Changqing region. It has been grown for centuries, valued for its bold leaves, rich mouthfeel, and signature toasted aroma.

Our tea comes from Shanping village, considered the origin area for this cultivar, with tea gardens around 800 meters elevation. The high mountain environment and older tea trees bring out deeper notes of caramel, wood, and dried fruit. It’s naturally smooth and mellow, with a clean, lingering finish.

Daye Oolong is especially well-suited for those who like richer, deeper teas that are still easy to drink—perfect for both hot and cold brewing.

• Origin: Shanping Village, Changqing Town, Anxi County, Fujian, China

The leaves are thick and crisp, requiring gentle oxidation and careful handling during processing to preserve its elegant fragrance.

Our Meizhan comes from Chishui village in Xiping, Anxi—grown at 900 meters in a cool, misty climate ideal for this cultivar. The tea is traditionally medium-roasted, offering a perfect balance of fire and fragrance: notes of plum, orchid, and a touch of woodiness, with a soft, full-bodied finish.

A great choice for tea lovers who enjoy both floral and fruity complexity with a warming roasted undertone.

Phoenix Lang Cai Oolong | The Hidden Hermit of Guangdong Teas

A bold and rare oolong born in the misty peaks of Phoenix Mountain, Guangdong.

Phoenix Lang Cai (浪菜), literally meaning “tossed greens,” is a traditional and lesser-known style of Chaozhou oolong tea. Crafted at altitudes above 600 meters from heirloom Phoenix Shui Xian tea trees, this tea bridges the flavor spectrum between high-fragrance Dancong and lighter Phoenix Shui Xian.

Tasting Notes
Expect an aromatic profile built on woody base notes, layered with wild honey, moss, and a distinct mineral “rock rhyme” (岩韵). The liquor is bright amber-orange. First sips are sweet and powerful, followed by a long, smooth aftertaste with a hint of wildflower nectar. This is not a delicate tea—it is bold, rustic, and grounding, with a raw mountain energy.

Origin: Phoenix Mountain, Chaozhou, Guangdong, China
Cultivar: Phoenix Shui Xian group cultivar
Elevation: 600–800m
Crafting: Hand-tossed “Lang Qing” + medium charcoal roast
Storage: Best within 36 months in cool, dry conditions

What Makes Lang Cai Special?

In Chaozhou tea-making, “Lang Cai” refers to the traditional process of “Lang Qing”—gently tossing the tea leaves during oxidation to stimulate natural fermentation. This labor-intensive process lasts 8–12 hours and is done entirely by hand, often at night. Lang Cai teas sit between:

• Dancong (highly aromatic, single-bush teas)

• Phoenix Shui Xian (mild, lightly oxidized teas)

Lang Cai retains traditional craft elements—nighttime processing, hand-tossing, and charcoal roasting—all of which deepen its flavor complexity.

Why You’ll Love This Tea

• If you enjoy teas with character – Lang Cai offers an earthy, grounding experience unlike the floral lightness of other oolongs.

• If you're exploring the Guangdong oolong spectrum – This tea is a must-try, offering a “middle ground” between delicate and robust.

• If you appreciate craft and terroir – Lang Cai reflects the minerals, mists, and time-honored methods of Phoenix Mountain more directly than any other style.

“Dancong is for aroma, Lang Cai is for structure, Shui Xian is for clarity.” – Chaozhou tea saying

  Origin & Story: Sweetness Born in the Mountains

  Lingtou Dancong, also called Bai Ye Dancong (White Leaf Dancong), comes from Lingtou Village in Raoping County, Chaozhou, Guangdong. First cultivated in 1961, it was selected from wild Phoenix Shui Xian trees and now accounts for over 50% of tea garden area in Guangdong.

  • Great for pairing with pastries, fruit, or just a peaceful afternoon

Shiguping Oolong | The Wild Soul of Hakka Craft

A Rare Indigenous Cultivar with Ethnic Roots
Shiguping oolong is made from a local, indigenous tea cultivar traditionally cultivated by the She people, a minority ethnic group native to this part of Guangdong. Unlike the widely used Phoenix Shui Xian cultivar, this tea comes from a separate genetic lineage, maintained for generations in Shiguping Village.

The tea plants here are broadleaf shrubs, not arbor trees, and have adapted to volcanic soils and mountain mists. Their leaves are thicker and more polyphenol-rich than Phoenix cultivars, giving the tea a wilder, more mineral-driven taste—distinct from the fragrant and delicate Dancong varieties grown elsewhere in Fenghuang.

Flavor Note
A rare oolong with a mellow, grounding taste—low in aroma but high in sweetness and complexity. Though freshly made, it already shows a flavor style similar to a lightly aged raw pu-erh (around 2–3 years): soft, gently fruity. Unlike most Guangdong oolongs, this tea does not focus on floral fragrance, but offers a smooth, deep sweetness and strong aging potential.

Origin: Shiguping Village, Fenghuang Town, Chaozhou, Guangdong, China
Cultivar: Shiguping Group-Varietal / Bird Beak Tea
Elevation: 400–600m
Tree Age: ~50 years
Roast: Longan wood charcoal roast
Storage: Ages well over time (ideal shelf life 36+ months)

Origin & Terroir: “Low Mountains, High Tea”

Though its elevation is only 400–600m, Shiguping’s volcanic soil, dense fog (200 days/year), and dramatic day-night temperature swings create an exceptional microclimate. Tea trees here grow slowly, developing richer amino acids and aromatic compounds. This unique environment produces unexpected richness usually reserved for higher elevations.

A Wild Cultivar with a Fierce Personality

Shiguping oolong is made from a local group-varietal known as “Bird Beak Tea”, with thick leaves and 15% higher polyphenol content than Phoenix Shui Xian. Descended from Shui Xian but diverging through natural mutation, it expresses a wilder, more rugged flavor than cultivated Dancong types.

Hakka-Style Processing: Intense, Ancestral, Authentic

This tea follows a late-Qing dynasty Hakka method of:

• Heavier tossing (三碰三晾) during oxidation

• 35–40% fermentation, close to northern Fujian-style oolongs

• 12+ hours charcoal roast using longan wood

The result? A complex aroma of roasted fruit and deep charcoal, with a flavor much more intense and aged than typical Phoenix teas.

Flavor: From Fire to Fruit to Sweetness

This tea delivers a three-stage taste experience:

1. First infusions: roasted, toasty notes like Wuyi rock teas

2. Mid infusions: tart-sweet flavor of preserved plums

3. Final steeps: mellow sugarcane sweetness

It’s bold, complex, and full of contrast—a tea that evolves in your cup and lingers on the mind.

For Aging, It’s in a League of Its Own

Historically exported from Shantou in the 19th century and used in Southeast Asian medicinal tea blends, Shiguping oolong is prized for its aging potential. Rich in polyphenols, it ages nearly twice as fast as Dancong, developing woody and medicinal notes over time.

“Three years becomes medicine. Ten years becomes treasure.”
A 2010 batch reviewed in 2023 showed clear transformation to herbal aroma, while most Dancong from the same year only showed mild honey notes.

Brewing Recommendations

Gongfu Style (Recommended):

• 5–6g tea per 100–150ml gaiwan

• Water temp: 95–98°C / 203–208°F

• Quick rinse, then steep 6–8+ times

• Start at 10–15 sec per infusion and adjust to taste

Western-style Brewing:

• 2g per 100ml water

• 95°C (203°F), 2–3 minutes steep

• Re-steep up to 2–3 times

Xi Yan Oolong | The Wild Backbone of Guangdong Oolong

A bold, floral, and mineral-rich oolong from the rocky slopes of Meizhou—combining Dancong fragrance with Wuyi-style strength.

Xi Yan Oolong is one of the most powerful and characterful oolongs in the Guangdong tea family. Grown in the remote mountain village of Xiyan in Meizhou, this tea delivers the floral lift of Phoenix Dancong along with the grounded body and minerality of Wuyi rock tea.

If Dancong is the perfume, and Lingtou is the dessert—Xi Yan is the mountain.

Tea Details

• Cultivars: Local group varietals (mainly Shui Xian, Mei Zhan)

• Harvest: Spring 2025

• Origin: Xiyan Village, Fenglang Township, Meizhou, Guangdong, China

• Elevation: 500–700m

• Tree Age: 50+ years

• Roasting: Heavy charcoal roasting (charcoal briquetting)

A Tea with Deep Roots in History

The Xiyan region has been cultivating tea since the Tang dynasty, and rose to fame in the Qing dynasty, when monks from the local Xizhu Temple cultivated high-mountain teas that were shipped across Southeast Asia as tribute tea.

Modern Xi Yan Oolong is made mostly from old group-varietal bushes (such as Shui Xian and Mei Zhan), many over 50 years old, growing between 500–700m. Since the 1960s, these high-altitude gardens have been known for a distinct “rock rhyme”—a deep, slightly spicy minerality that sets it apart from the sweeter, lighter oolongs of Chaozhou.

Processing: Heavier Roast, Deeper Flavor

• Heavy withering + strong leaf shaking (yao qing)

• Thick stems preserved for body and sweetness

• Deep charcoal roasting (heaviest in Guangdong)

Compared to other Guangdong oolongs:

• Xi Yan: rich, roasted, and structured (suitable for aging)

• Phoenix Dancong: high fragrance, lighter body

• Lingtou Dancong: soft, sweet, everyday drinker

“Rocky on the outside, floral at the core.”

Flavor Profile: Earth, Fruit, and Florals

• Aroma: deep floral notes with subtle stone fruit

• Taste: thick and warming, with hints of baked plum, roasted almond, and a cooling mineral aftertaste

• Body: full and grounded, with a subtle honey edge

This is a tea that speaks slowly and confidently. It's not about quick aromas—it’s about structure, patience, and wild depth.

Who Should Try This Tea?

• Fans of Wuyi rock tea (Yancha) looking to explore Guangdong’s version of “rock energy”

• Dancong lovers wanting something darker, deeper, and more aging-friendly

• Tea drinkers who value mineral-rich, grounding flavors

• Those looking for a “serious” daily tea with excellent re-steeping value

Brewing Recommendations

Gongfu Style (recommended):

• 5g per 100 gaiwan

• 95–100°C (203–212°F) water

• Rinse quickly, then infuse 6–8+ times

• Start with 10–15 seconds, increase gradually

Western Brewing:

• 2g per 200ml

• Steep for 1-3 minutes at 95-100°C

• Re-steep up to 3 times

Introduction:
This Fenghuang Dancong tea is meticulously selected from the autumn harvest of 2023. Plucked from ancient tea trees in high-altitude gardens in Fenghuang Town, Guangdong, at elevations of approximately 850 meters, the exceptional growing conditions impart a refined texture and rich, layered flavors. The plucking standard of one bud and two leaves ensures a smooth, full-bodied taste, combining fruity notes with a roasted aroma that lingers delightfully.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Core Production Area: Grown in Fenghuang Town, Chaozhou, Guangdong, where the mild climate features an average annual temperature of 21.4°C and annual rainfall of 1685.9 mm. The acidic red soil, deep and rich in organic matter and trace elements, plays a crucial role in shaping the tea's distinctive aroma and flavor.
• Tea for Diplomatic Occasions: On April 7, 2023, French President Emmanuel Macron visited Guangzhou and was served Fenghuang Dancong tea during a tea ceremony at the Songyuan Hotel, highlighting its status as a prestigious Guangdong tea.
• Unique Tea Variety: Harvested from ancient tea trees over 100 years old, planted 6-8 meters apart in remote mountainous areas and picked only once a year. This ensures a rich, sweet aftertaste with a slight astringency, characteristic of Fenghuang Dancong.
• Special Processing Techniques: The unique methods of oxidation and medium roasting create a tea with floral and honey-like aromas, setting it apart from others.

Oxidation Level: 30%-40%
Roasting Level: Medium roast
Tea Garden Soil: Yellow soil
Processing Time: Autumn 2024
Best Before Date: 24 months
Tea Variety: Fenghuang Dancong

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.

Wild Souchong Black Tea uses wild tea leaves from mountains in Guangxi Province. It uses a special tea-making method of traditional Lapsang Souchong technique. Wild Souchong Black Tea maintains the taste of Lapsang Souchong, while it has a richer flavor. Lapsang Souchong is the earliest black tea and it is called black tea originator. It has a history of 400 years. Lapsang Souchong is baked by pine needles or pine wood. As a result, it has very strong fragrance. Also, due to the bake technique, the color of the tea is grey black and the color of tea soup is dark amber.

Made from tender tea buds and the first leaf, it strikes a perfect balance between flavor and smoothness, making it approachable for beginners and cherished by tea enthusiasts. Its name comes from its unique appearance: green leaves and silvery-white buds resemble blooming flowers. When steeped, the leaves cradle the buds, creating a visual like a flower in bloom. While it can be aged, its tender nature makes it best enjoyed fresh.

Storage Tips:
To preserve its quality, store White Peony tea in a cool, dry place following GB/T 30375 standards.

For short-term storage: Use kraft paper or aluminum bags, remove excess air, seal tightly, and place in a tin or small box.
For long-term storage: Use triple-layer packaging (cardboard box, aluminum bag, and plastic bag) in a controlled environment below 77°F (25°C) with humidity under 50%.

What is Shou Mei White Tea?
Shou Mei is a type of Chinese white tea primarily grown in Fuding, Zhenghe, and Songxi in Fujian Province. Its name, "Longevity Eyebrow," refers to the tea's leaf shape, which resembles the eyebrows of an elderly person. According to the latest national standards, Shou Mei is crafted from young shoots or leaves of tea plants such as Da Bai, Shui Xian, or local varietals through withering, drying, and sorting processes. While often considered less delicate than other white teas, its robust and complex flavor makes it a great choice for tea beginners.

Brewing and Enjoyment Tips for Shou Mei White Tea:
Shou Mei is not typically consumed fresh; it is better appreciated after aging for at least three years. With time, the tea develops deeper, more layered flavors. After 10 years, aged Shou Mei offers a smoother, sweeter taste, a richer, darker tea liquor, and distinctive "aged" and "herbal" aromas. These qualities make aged Shou Mei highly valued among white tea enthusiasts. It’s best enjoyed when simmered or steeped for extended periods.

Storage Guidelines for Shou Mei White Tea:
To preserve its quality, store the tea in a dry environment with moisture content below 8.5%, temperature around 25°C (77°F), and humidity under 45%. Keep it away from light, odors, and air exposure by sealing it tightly. After three years of proper storage, the tea can be classified as “aged white tea.”
