The First Taste of Spring — Rich, Nutty & Smooth

The finest Longjing begins with the very first buds of early April — a brief moment that defines its most prized character.

Handpicked from Zhejiang and crafted from traditional Qunti Zhong cultivar, these early leaves are rich in amino acids, creating a smooth, rounded body with a distinctive roasted bean aroma and warm nutty notes.

As the season advances, this depth and sweetness begin to fade — which is why First Flush Longjing is considered the most complete expression of this iconic tea.

Harvested within a short seasonal window, only once a year.

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.

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.

The First Taste of Spring — Fresh,  Fragrant

Biluochun reveals its most captivating character in the earliest days of spring.

Handpicked in early April from Dongting Mountain in Suzhou, these tender buds grow among fruit trees — a unique terroir that naturally infuses the tea with a fresh aroma and a bright, lively taste.

Picked at their youngest stage, the leaves are exceptionally delicate, offering a clarity and fragrance that later harvests cannot replicate.

Available only during a short spring window, once a year.
A vibrant and aromatic expression of spring.

This Jasmine Tieguanyin Oolong is a refined floral tea that blends the elegance of freshly bloomed jasmine flowers with the smooth, creamy character of high-quality Tieguanyin oolong. Through a traditional multi-round scenting process, fresh jasmine blossoms are layered with tea leaves during drying, allowing the tea to naturally absorb the flower’s fragrance.

Scented three times for depth and clarity, this tea achieves a delicate balance—neither overly perfumed nor heavy, but soft, aromatic, and naturally refreshing. The result is a cup that feels like walking through a jasmine garden in full bloom, while enjoying the silky comfort of premium oolong.

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.
