Top-tier Tea Collection

Introduction:
This Junshan Yinzhen (Silver Needle) tea is meticulously selected from the spring harvest of 2024. Plucked from high-altitude tea gardens in Yueyang, Hunan Province, at elevations of approximately 500 meters, the exceptional growing conditions impart a refreshing taste and rich, layered flavors. The plucking standard of primarily one bud and one leaf ensures a delicate, mellow taste with a sweet aftertaste, a bright yellow liquor, and a lasting, fresh aroma.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Core Production Area: Sourced from the secondary core production area outside Junshan Island, offering an affordable price while maintaining the authentic flavor profile of Junshan Yinzhen through traditional craftsmanship and tea variety.
• Unique Appearance: Junshan Yinzhen is characterized by its straight, plump buds with golden bodies covered in silvery hairs. When brewed, the tea leaves stand upright in the water, floating up and down before settling vertically at the bottom of the cup. This mesmerizing process is known as the "three rises and three falls."
• Strict Standards: The plucking and production of Junshan Yinzhen follow rigorous standards. It is harvested only once a year during a 7-10 day window around the Qingming Festival, ensuring the finest spring buds are selected.
• A Renowned Chinese Tea: Recognized as one of China's top ten famous teas, Junshan Yinzhen is the most well-known and beloved variety of yellow tea.

This Qi Dan Da Hong Pao is a balanced and refined Wuyi rock oolong with elegant floral aromas, layered fragrance, and a smooth roasted character. Compared to heavier roasted rock teas, it offers a more harmonious and approachable profile while still retaining the gentle mineral character that defines Wuyi oolong.

Smooth, expressive, and comforting, this tea is especially suitable for those who enjoy roasted oolongs with both floral complexity and depth.

This tea is made from the Qi Dan cultivar, one of the original tea varieties associated with Da Hong Pao. Unlike the blended Da Hong Pao styles commonly found today, single-cultivar Da Hong Pao highlights the unique personality of one specific tea variety, offering a more distinctive and layered tasting experience.

Jasmine Bai Hao represents the pinnacle of traditional Chinese jasmine tea craftsmanship, featuring nine rounds of jasmine scenting — an exceptional level of traditional processing. Each round uses fresh jasmine flowers from Fuzhou, allowing the tea buds to absorb the floral essence and develop a fresh, lively, and deeply layered jasmine aroma.

Made from rare whole buds of Fuding Big Pekoe grown in the high mountains of northern Fujian, this tea combines precious bud material with masterful scenting techniques. The result is an elegant tea with a vibrant jasmine fragrance, a smooth and mellow taste, and a naturally sweet, lingering finish.

A prized choice for those who appreciate the finest expressions of traditional Chinese jasmine tea.
