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 2014 aged Shou Mei White Tea is made from Fuding Da Bai and Da Hao tea cultivars grown in Fujian, China. Crafted with traditional sun-drying methods, it delivers a unique blend of "aged aroma" and "herbal fragrance." With a rich, sweet aftertaste and long-lasting brews, this tea is ideal for those who appreciate the complexity of aged teas. However, it’s best enjoyed through simmering or long steeps, making it less suited for Gongfu-style brewing. If you prefer fresh, light, or floral white teas, this option may not align with your taste. This tea is made from whole loose leaves compressed into small 5g cakes. There’s no need to measure—perfect for quick and convenient brewing.

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.”

Buying Guide:
This Yunnan Ancient Tree Black Tea is crafted from trees over a hundred years old in Jingmai Mountain, Yunnan. It is made using the sun-dried black tea method (Shaihong), where the leaves are naturally dried under sunlight rather than baked.

The tea offers a clean, gentle sweetness that doesn’t rush in at the first sip. Instead, a soft sweetness slowly emerges in the mouth a few seconds after drinking, leaving a calm and refreshing finish.

Compared to traditionally baked black teas, its aroma is not caramelized or roasted. Instead, it carries a light floral honey note, subtle and elegant. The overall flavor is delicate and restrained, which may feel unfamiliar to those accustomed to bold, malty black teas.

This is a black tea meant to be enjoyed slowly — quiet, natural, and understated.

Tea Master: Zhu Yafen

How to Brew

Steep Time: 20 sec for first 3 steeps, add 5 sec each time after
Teaware: White porcelain gaiwan

Storage:
Keep sealed, dry, and away from light or odors. For longer preservation, store in a cool environment. Best enjoyed within two years.

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.

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.

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.

This Jasmine Bai Hao is meticulously selected from the spring harvest of 2023.

• Whole Bud Material: The plump, straight bud tips are covered in abundant, visible white hairs, indicating their tenderness.

Introduction:
This Hubei Dark Tea is meticulously selected from the autumn harvest of 2022. Plucked from high-altitude tea gardens in Zhaoliqiao Town, Hubei Province, it adheres to the plucking standard of one bud and three leaves. This tea is a type of Hubei Dark Tea known as "Mi Zhuan Cha" (Rice Brick Tea), renowned for its unique flavor profile. The tea liquor is rich and robust, with a slight initial bitterness that transforms into a lasting sweet aftertaste. It primarily exudes a floral and honey-like aroma, accompanied by a subtle aged fragrance.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Unique Raw Material: Mi Zhuan Cha is a specialty tea produced in Chibi City, Hubei Province, known as the "Hometown of Chinese Brick Tea." It is a compressed black tea made entirely from tea dust, which gives it the name "Rice Brick Tea."
• Distinct Appearance: The finished Mi Zhuan Cha is visually striking, with sharp edges, a smooth surface adorned with intricate patterns, and a glossy black brick color. When brewed, it produces a deep red liquor with a pure aroma and a rich, mellow taste.
• High-Mountain Tea Gardens: The tea trees grow at high altitudes, where significant daily temperature variations slow their growth. The abundant mist and moisture nourish the tea trees, enriching the leaves with nutrients and resulting in a tea with a robust flavor and strong aroma.

“Lao Cha Po” specifically refers to old leaves (not tender buds) harvested one week before and after Shuangjiang (one of China’s 24 solar terms, around October 23, marking the start of colder weather). These are mostly coarse leaves from the current year or 2–3-year-old growth. “Cha Po” is the Liubao people’s respectful name for old leaves. In the past, farmers sold tender buds as high-quality tea, while coarse old leaves were kept as everyday tea. The name reflects the farmers’ wisdom of “making full use of what you have.”

Around Shuangjiang, large temperature differences and reduced rainfall make the old leaves thicker and richer in sugars and nutrients, giving the tea a natural cane sugar sweetness. Tea harvested at this time has less astringency and a smoother, naturally sweet taste.

This Lao Cha Po tea was brewed at the tea bar during the 15th Northwest Tea Festival and loved by everyone, receiving high praise.

This tea is made using the traditional Liubao “picking and cleaning old leaves” method: fresh leaves are briefly blanched in hot water, then sun-dried or air-dried. Blanching reduces bitterness, while the drying process, similar to white tea, preserves most of the tea’s natural compounds.

This batch of Lao Cha Po comes from wild, aged tea trees in Shizhai Town, Wuzhou City, with tree ages of 30–50 years, making the raw material rare. Because it uses old trees, even with only 20 years of aging, the tea exhibits flavor comparable to 30+ years aged tea. The tea has a distinct medicinal aroma and carries the forest-like character unique to old trees, offering a rich and unique flavor.

Introduction:
This Anhua Dark Tea is meticulously selected from the autumn harvest of 2021. Plucked from wild tea gardens in Anhua County, Hunan Province, it adheres to the plucking standard of one bud and three leaves. Recognized by the global tea and medical communities as one of the healthiest beverages of the 21st century, this tea exudes a unique pine smoke aroma when brewed, offering a pure, mellow, and sweet taste with a lasting aftertaste.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Special Processing Technique: Anhua Dark Tea undergoes a unique "wet piling" (wo dui) process twice—once during the initial processing of raw tea and again during the final product processing. This process utilizes the temperature and humidity of the tea leaves after fixation, allowing microorganisms in the air to interact with the leaves, resulting in the transformation of the tea's internal compounds.
• Premium Quality: This Anhua Dark Tea (Tianjian) is considered the finest variety available on the market and was historically treasured as a tribute tea for emperors.
• Unique Aroma: A special step in the production of Anhua Dark Tea is the "Seven Star Stove" roasting. During this process, pine wood is burned beneath the stove, and the pine smoke is channeled into the tea leaves, infusing them with a distinctive pine smoke aroma while drying.

Oxidation Level: Wet piling fermentation
Roasting Level: Seven Star Stove pine smoke roasting
Tea Garden Soil: Weathered slate soil
Processing Time: 2021

Rou Gui, literally meaning “cinnamon,” is a Chinese oolong tea cultivar known for its distinctive cinnamon-like spice aroma.

This high-mountain Rou Gui is grown at approximately 730 meters above sea level and belongs to a highland oolong style rather than the traditional Wuyi rock tea region. Compared with classic Wuyi Rou Gui, this version presents a softer and more balanced expression of cinnamon spice, with a smoother and more approachable character.

The tea liquor is warm, smooth, and full-bodied, with a gentle cinnamon aroma and natural sweetness. Its spice is refined rather than intense, making it easy to enjoy.

An excellent choice for those who want to explore Rou Gui’s signature cinnamon character in a softer, more accessible high-mountain oolong style.

This premium Lao Cong Shui Xian comes from Jian’ou in Northern Fujian and is crafted from old Shui Xian tea bushes aged around 30–50 years.

The tea liquor is smooth, rich, and naturally sweet, with gentle woody notes and a soft forest-like character that gradually unfolds through multiple infusions. Subtle hints of aged wood, moss, and lingering sweetness create a calm and deeply comforting tea experience.

Shui Xian is one of the few oolong cultivars where bush age significantly influences flavor. As the tea trees mature over decades, they develop deeper woody sweetness, a rounder body, and the distinctive layered character prized in old bush oolong teas.

Compared with highly aromatic floral oolongs, this style is more mellow and grounded, focusing on texture, depth, and a soothing woody finish rather than intense fragrance.

An excellent choice for drinkers who enjoy smooth, full-bodied oolong teas with woody, forest-like complexity and low bitterness.
