Tea

Wild dark tea is produced in Anhua County, Yiyang City, Hunan Province, the birthplace of Anhua dark tea. The tea gardens are primarily located in mountainous areas at an altitude of 1000 meters. Grown in a pristine ecological environment with abundant vegetation, this wild dark 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 Qiujiang Bopian Tea technique, it offers a pure and long-lasting pine-smoke aroma. The taste is rich, mellow, and sweet, with a lasting aftertaste and a unique pine-smoke fragrance. After consumption, a lingering sweetness remains in the mouth, leaving a memorable and unforgettable experience. Even after multiple infusions, it retains its distinctive aroma.

The First Taste of Spring — Steamed Freshness & Umami Depth

Enshi Yulu captures spring in one of the most distinctive ways among Chinese green teas.

Harvested in early April from the mountains of Hubei, its youngest buds are processed using a rare steaming technique — preserving natural chlorophyll and active compounds at their peak.

This method gives the tea its vibrant green color, a gentle seaweed-like aroma, and a fresh, umami-rich taste with a smooth, clean finish.

Unlike pan-fired teas, its freshness feels brighter and more vivid — a true expression of preserved spring vitality.

Only produced once a year, within a short seasonal window.
A uniquely fresh and lively taste of spring.

Ya Shi Xiang is one of the most aromatic Dancong oolong teas from the Phoenix Mountains in Chaozhou, China, known for its naturally rich floral fragrance and remarkable aromatic complexity.

This collection invites you to experience how the same tea changes across different harvest seasons. All three teas come from the same village and are crafted by the same tea master, ensuring that only nature—the season of harvest—creates the difference.

Spring, fall, and winter each reveal a unique expression of the same tea. Spring is soft and floral with gentle sweetness. Fall is smooth and rounded with warm aromatic depth. Winter is crisp and vibrant with a clean, lingering finish.

Rather than a single tea, this set offers a guided tasting experience that lets you explore how season shape aroma, texture, and flavor in real time.

Taste them side by side and discover how one tea can express three completely different seasonal personalities.

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.

Aged oolong tea reveals a unique dimension of tea character—how time transforms aroma, texture, and depth.

This collection brings together five vintages of traditionally charcoal-roasted Minnan Shui Xian, spanning from 1994 to 2024. All teas come from the same tea-making lineage, allowing time—not origin or craftsmanship—to be the only variable.

Fresh teas express bright orchid aroma and lively sweetness. As the tea ages, floral notes gradually fade, giving way to deeper woody, honeyed, and herbal tones. With decades of transformation, the tea develops a smoother texture, thicker body, and a long, lingering finish.

Rather than a single flavor, this set offers a journey through time—revealing how oolong tea evolves across 30 years of natural aging.

Taste them side by side and experience how time becomes a flavor.

Fuding Silver Needle White Tea is the purest expression of traditional Chinese white tea. Made entirely from the unopened spring buds of the Fuding Da Bai tea variety, each delicate bud is carefully handpicked during the short early spring harvest season, when the tea plant concentrates its most refined flavors.

Originating from Fuding, Fujian, the birthplace of white tea, this tea follows traditional sun-drying craftsmanship with minimal processing, allowing the natural character of the fresh buds to shine. The fine white hairs covering the buds give Silver Needle its signature silver appearance and help preserve its gentle sweetness and freshness.

Unlike White Peony or Gongmei, which include young leaves for a fuller tea body, Silver Needle offers a lighter and more elegant experience. Its beauty lies in subtlety: a clean floral aroma, silky texture, honey-like sweetness, and a refreshing finish that reflects the pure essence of the tea plant itself.

Perfect for those seeking a refined daily tea or a meaningful introduction to authentic Fuding white tea, Silver Needle can be enjoyed fresh for its bright and delicate character or carefully stored to develop greater depth over time.

This Top Grade Laocong Shui Xian is crafted for tea drinkers who appreciate the deep, traditional character of classic Wuyi rock oolong tea. Made from leaves harvested from 50+ year-old tea trees growing in the Zhengyan region near Yunu Peak — one of the well-known scenic and tea-growing areas within the core Wuyi Mountain terroir — this tea expresses the distinctive old bush character that Shui Xian is prized for.

Compared with younger tea trees, Laocong Shui Xian develops a fuller body, deeper texture, and more layered flavor profile. The tea features pronounced woody and mossy aromas, accompanied by a smooth, velvety mouthfeel and the grounded mineral depth characteristic of authentic Wuyi Yancha. Gentle roasting adds warmth and structure without overpowering the tea’s natural complexity.

Rich, mellow, and deeply expressive, this traditional Wuyi rock tea is ideal for those who enjoy wood notes and the bold, mature character of old bush oolong teas.

Rare Wuyi Rock Tea Cultivars: Hidden Gems from the Core of Zhengyan

While teas like Da Hong Pao, Rou Gui, and Shui Xian have become well-known representatives of Wuyi Rock Tea, the rare cultivars—such as Tie Luo Han, Bai Ji Guan, Shui Jin Gui, and Ban Tian Yao—tell a deeper, more authentic story. These teas originate from wild, heirloom tea trees that have grown for centuries in the heart of the Wuyi Mountains, shaped by natural selection and careful cultivation. They embody the original genetic heritage of Wuyi rock tea.
Grown on remote cliffs and craggy ledges in the Zhengyan core production zone—places like Guidong Cave and Sanhua Peak—these tea trees sink their roots deep into rocky crevices, drawing in rare minerals. The result is a flavor profile marked by the elusive and unmistakable "Yan Yun" (rock rhyme) that connoisseurs revere.

Who would enjoy this tea?
This collection is perfect for those who have explored the classic Wuyi rock teas and are ready to dive deeper into its rare and distinctive varieties. It includes historically renowned teas like Tie Luohan, Bàn Tiān Yāo, Bai Ji Guan, Shui Jin Gui, and Bai Rui Xiang, along with newer, highly sought-after cultivars like Rui Xiang and Jin Mudan. A journey through the diverse flavors and craftsmanship of Wuyi rock tea.

“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.

This roasted Tie Guan Yin offers a warm, smooth, and full-bodied expression, representing a more rounded and mellow style within traditional Tie Guan Yin teas.

The tea liquor is rich and silky on the palate, with pronounced roasted aromas accompanied by subtle nutty and toasty notes. Compared with fresh-style Tie Guan Yin, it has less brightness and briskness, but a noticeably deeper warmth and fuller body.

Through medium oxidation and slow charcoal roasting, the tea’s astringency is further softened, resulting in a rounder, more approachable cup with enhanced depth and structure.

Ideal for those who enjoy roasted, warming oolong teas with a smooth and comforting character.

This Rou Gui offers a softer, more refined expression of Wuyi rock tea. Its signature cinnamon-like spice is gentle and elegant, supported by a smooth texture, natural sweetness, and a lingering mineral finish.

Grown in Fo Guo Yan, a lesser-known yet highly regarded site within Wuyi's Zhengyan region, this tea showcases a distinctive side of Rou Gui. Compared with the bold intensity often associated with famous cliff-grown Rou Gui teas, Fo Guo Yan produces a more balanced and graceful character, where sweetness, clarity, and rock rhyme unfold in harmony.

For tea drinkers who appreciate the depth of Wuyi rock tea but prefer elegance over power, this rare-origin Rou Gui offers a rewarding and approachable experience.

Fuding Gongmei White Tea offers an authentic taste of traditional Fuding white tea, crafted in Fujian’s renowned white tea region using time-honored techniques of slow withering and natural sun-drying. Made from the local “cai cha” tea variety, this tea reflects the classic character of Gongmei with its smooth texture, gentle sweetness, and balanced depth.

Unlike delicate silver needle teas that can feel too subtle for beginners, Gongmei offers a fuller yet approachable flavor profile.

Huang Jin Gui is a classic oolong tea from Anxi, Fujian, known for its elegant floral aroma and smooth, naturally sweet character.

This tasting-grade Huang Jin Gui offers fresh floral notes with a soft and silky tea liquor. Its flavor profile is similar to lightly roasted Tie Guan Yin, but with a smoother texture, fuller body, and a calmer, more refined aroma.

Compared with more intensely aromatic oolongs, Huang Jin Gui delivers a gentler and more comforting tea experience that is easy to enjoy daily.

An excellent choice for drinkers who enjoy the fresh floral style of Tie Guan Yin and want to explore a softer, rounder expression of Fujian oolong tea.

Pomelo Blossom Oolong is a rare floral oolong tea that captures the delicate sweetness of pomelo blossoms and the elegant character of traditional Chinese oolong. Unlike teas scented with heavy floral notes, this tea offers a naturally fresh and subtle fragrance, with a gentle citrus blossom sweetness that feels light, clean, and refreshing.

Crafted in Pinghe County, Fujian, the birthplace of Bai Ya Qi Lan and the famous Guanxi honey pomelo, this tea combines the region’s two seasonal treasures. Each spring, tea makers collect Bai Ya Qi Lan tea leaves and carefully scent them with freshly blooming pomelo flowers during the short 20-day blossom season. The result is a unique harmony between Bai Ya Qi Lan’s signature orchid-like aroma and the soft, sweet fragrance of pomelo flowers.

The tea opens with a delicate sweetness from the pomelo blossoms, followed by the smooth body and layered floral notes of Bai Ya Qi Lan. Its silky texture, refreshing finish, and lingering floral aftertaste create a graceful and memorable oolong experience.
