Tea

Introduction:

This Qidan Da Hong Pao is meticulously selected from the spring harvest of 2023. Sourced from the purest Wuyi rock tea in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian (the most authentic origin), the exceptional growing conditions and specific cultivar impart a truly authentic flavor profile. Crafted by master tea maker Chen Hai, who has decades of experience, this tea guarantees a rich, sweet aftertaste with a subtle osmanthus fragrance.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Core Production Area: Grown in the heart of Wuyi Mountain, Fujian, where the average annual temperature ranges from 16°C to 25°C, the frost-free period lasts 253-272 days, and annual rainfall is around 2000 mm. The relative humidity is 78%-84%, and the acidic red soil, rich in organic matter and minerals, contributes to the unique flavor of Da Hong Pao tea trees.
• Pure Cultivar: The mother trees of Da Hong Pao grow on the steep cliffs of Jiulongke in the Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve. Due to their limited yield and exceptional quality, the purebred Da Hong Pao is propagated asexually from cuttings of these mother trees and processed separately.
• High-Altitude Tea Gardens: This tea is cultivated in high-altitude gardens in Wuyi Mountain, where the superior climate enhances the tea's richness, delivering a fuller, sweeter aftertaste and a more intense, lingering aroma with a pronounced "rock essence."
• Unique Roasting Process: Premium tea leaves are slowly roasted under gentle heat, developing a sweet fragrance with a subtle smoky undertone.

Biluochun is one of China’s most delicate and aromatic green teas, traditionally grown around Dongting Mountain in Jiangsu. This edition is First Flush — the very first picking of early spring, harvested just as the tea trees awaken from winter dormancy.

Picked to the fine standard of one bud with one tender leaf, the tiny, downy shoots are hand-rolled into tight spirals. After resting through winter, the young buds naturally accumulate nutrients and higher amino acid levels, giving the tea its signature fresh, lively, and gently sweet character.

As the leaves unfurl in water, they release a soft floral fragrance — capturing the light, vibrant spirit of spring.

Someone asked, "I'm new to Chinese green tea and want to try some well-known varieties without compromising on quality." This collection is curated just for that. We've handpicked the top 4 out of China's 10 famous green teas: Longjing, Biluochun, Huangshan Maofeng, and Lu'an Guapian. We've sourced these directly from authentic growers in the classic production areas, offering great value for money. Additionally, we've chosen high-altitude teas from seed-propagated group plantations and crafted by tea masters with over 20 years of experience. Each tea is a spring harvest from 2024. Here's a brief introduction to each:

Lu'an Guapian:  A Unique Green Tea 15g
Lu'an Guapian is a historic Chinese tea that was once a tribute to the royal family. This precious green tea still maintains its unique traditional craftsmanship and flavor. Our gourmet Lu'an Guapian is handcrafted by a master with 30 years of experience, using leaves from the small-leaf tea plants in Qi Mountain, Lu'an, Anhui, grown at an altitude of 600 meters. Picked at the end of spring, the leaves are tender with a rich aroma and a refreshing taste. The end-of-spring tea is more affordable than early spring tea, with a more pronounced tea flavor and a slightly reduced aroma. Lu'an Guapian is picked by selecting only the second leaf from the bud and two leaves, discarding the stem and tender leaves, retaining the essence of the tea to ensure the purity and delicate freshness of the tea soup.

Biluochun: A Premium Green Tea from China 15g
Biluochun is one of China's most famous green teas, known for its high-temperature killing and initial pan-frying followed by slow low-temperature drying. Unlike Longjing's pan-frying, dried green tea has a distinct bean flavor, but Biluochun's frying aroma is not prominent, offering a more refreshing taste. This high-grade Biluochun has a slight floral and fruity fragrance, slightly sweet without bitterness, and abundant downy hairs. Despite its high grade and flavor, it's affordably priced because it's made from tea plants in Sichuan, not the authentic Dongting Biluochun from Suzhou, Zhejiang.

Huangshan Maofeng: A Delightful Green Tea 12g
Huangshan Maofeng represents the high-mountain green teas of China, grown from 60-year-old tea trees in loamy soil at an altitude of 800 meters. Crafted by experienced tea masters using traditional drying techniques, this tea offers a perfect balance of quality and value. It's rich in minerals and exudes a refreshing green tea aroma with a subtle orchid fragrance. Its sweet and gentle flavor is endlessly memorable, making it ideal for daily drinking, especially for those who prefer a sweet taste without bitterness. The spring-picked high-mountain leaves add to its unique sweet taste and soft texture.

Longjing: A Famous Green Tea 15g
We're committed to providing an authentic Longjing tea, different from the popular low-grade "machine-cut Longjing." Our tea is selected from the traditional Longjing variety in Lishui, Zhejiang, crafted semi-manually by Longjing masters with over 30 years of experience, combining traditional techniques with modern conveniences. We choose to pick our tea after Grain Rain and before the beginning of summer, when the flavor is similar to pre-Grain Rain tea, but more affordable. Our tea comes from high-altitude gardens (900-1000 meters), where the climate and altitude provide an environment similar to West Lake, ensuring superior quality and value.

Our Longjing tea is of a high grade, carefully selected from one bud and two leaves to one bud and three leaves, offering complete leaves in contrast to the machine-cut tea with more stems and incomplete leaves. Our goal is to offer a genuine variety and craftsmanship of high-quality Longjing tea at an entry-level price, ensuring every cup exudes the pure aroma and elegant taste of traditional Longjing

Wild green tea, produced in Kaishan Town, Hezhou City, Guangxi. The tea area is situated at an altitude of around 1000 meters, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with mist shrouding the area year-round. Grown in a pristine ecological environment with abundant vegetation, this wild green tea is cultivated without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in limited yield with only one spring harvest per year. Processed using the techniques of Roasted Green Tea, it offers a rich and refreshing taste, initially slightly bitter but quickly turning sweet, with a fragrant and full-bodied aroma. The taste is complex and layered, with a unique apple fragrance and a lingering aftertaste. Even after multiple infusions, the aroma remains fresh and pleasant. The liquor is clear and bright, with a yellow-green hue, visually appealing.

This Huangshan Maofeng green tea is carefully selected from the renowned high-mountain tea-growing regions of China, harvested from ancient tea trees over 60 years old, thriving in gravelly soil at an altitude of 800 meters. Recognized as one of the top ten famous teas in China and listed as a national intangible cultural heritage, its traditional craftsmanship is personally overseen by the experienced tea master, Master Yu. He adheres to the philosophy of traditional craftsmanship and hand refinement, combining high-quality raw materials to create this high-quality, affordable Huangshan Maofeng green tea.

Compared to the common Longjing tea, Huangshan Maofeng does not have the bean and chestnut aromas of Longjing but focuses more on the natural fragrance, orchid scent, and sweetness of the green tea itself, without any seaweed flavor. Its taste is fresh and elegant, and the tea soup presents a clear greenish-yellow, offering a very pure high-mountain tea experience.

Why choose this Huangshan Maofeng?

Top-shelf ingredients: Harvested from 60-year-old tea trees planted in high-altitude (800 meters) gravelly soil, these conditions endow the tea leaves with rich minerals and a unique sweet orchid aroma.
Traditional craftsmanship: Made by an experienced tea master using traditional drying techniques, preserving the natural aroma and taste of the tea leaves.
Great value: Despite its top-tier ingredients and traditional craftsmanship, this Huangshan Maofeng is priced at half the cost of similar Longjing teas, making it ideal for consumers who pursue high quality on a budget.
Suitable for tea enthusiasts who:

Enjoy exploring niche high-quality green teas: Huangshan Maofeng is a niche tea in the Western market, with a unique fragrance and orchid scent, perfect for tea lovers who like to try new types of tea.
Prefer green teas without the seaweed flavor common in steamed green teas: Huangshan Maofeng is more refreshing and natural.
Seek value for money in green tea: This tea is affordable yet does not compromise on quality, especially suitable for those who wish to savor top-tier green tea within their budget.

Not suitable for tea enthusiasts who:

Prefer strong pan-frying aromas or the bean and chestnut scents of Longjing tea, as Huangshan Maofeng has a milder and fresher flavor profile.
Seek very strong or full-bodied tea soup, as Huangshan Maofeng has a lighter color and softer taste, not providing an intensely robust experience.
By choosing this Huangshan Maofeng, you will taste a Chinese high-mountain green tea that combines high quality with great value, experiencing the true beauty of traditional handcrafted tea art.

Introducing our exquisite Biluochun, one of China's most renowned green teas.

This premium tea undergoes a unique process of high-temperature killing and is first pan-fried until dry, then slowly oven-dried at low temperatures. Unlike Longjing's pan-frying, which gives a distinct bean flavor, Biluochun's aroma is more subtle and refreshing. The slow, low-temperature frying process ensures there's no seaweed taste in Biluochun. This particular grade of Biluochun is quite high, featuring one bud and one leaf, made following the authentic Biluochun craftsmanship. It has a slight floral and fruity fragrance, slightly sweet without bitterness, and abundant in downy hairs. Although it's not from the authentic Dongting Biluochun in Suzhou, Zhejiang, but made from tea plants in Ya'an, Sichuan (close to the Tibetan Plateau, with an average altitude of over 2000 meters), this tea offers excellent quality and flavor at a more affordable price.

Reasons to choose this tea:

Crafted from the fresh spring harvest of April 2024, with one bud and one leaf, indicating high tenderness and grade of the tea leaves.
It's a high cost-performance Biluochun green tea without compromising quality.
Sourced from high-altitude tea gardens in Lingshan District, Ya'an City, Sichuan, at an altitude of 2000 meters, processed with the craftsmanship of Jiangsu Biluochun tea. The price is favorable because it's not from the core production area of Biluochun.

Purchase recommendation:

This tea is especially suitable for those who want to try Biluochun as beginners or for daily tea drinkers who need a large supply.
If you must purchase authentic Dongting Biluochun from Suzhou, Zhejiang, please buy with caution.
