This Ya Shi Xiang Dancong is known for its elegant floral aroma, featuring distinctive notes of honeysuckle and sweet blossoms.

It’s a soul-soothing beverage designed to bring clarity and a sense of calm to a restless afternoon.

As one of China’s most iconic oolong teas, this Tie Guan Yin comes from high-mountain tea gardens at elevations of 800–1000 meters in its core growing region and is harvested in spring for its fresh and vibrant character.

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.

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.

Tongmuguan Zhengshan Xiaozhong: The Original Smoky Chinese Black Tea

Zhengshan Xiaozhong, known as the world’s first black tea, originates from Tongmuguan in the Wuyi Mountains of China. This region, at an altitude of up to 1500 meters, is now a protected nature reserve, providing an ideal, untouched environment for tea cultivation. Zhengshan Xiaozhong tea from Tongmuguan is unique, not only for its specific local tea varieties and pristine mountain setting but also for its rich, 400-year-old heritage of traditional tea-making.

What truly sets this tea apart is the smoking process that gives it its signature taste. Skilled tea masters meticulously select local pine wood, particularly the resin-rich heartwood and roots, to smoke the leaves. This special wood is believed to impart a rich, natural pine resin fragrance, balanced with a subtle honey-like sweetness, creating a truly layered, unforgettable taste. Locals say that only Zhengshan Xiaozhong produced in Tongmuguan with traditional techniques captures this distinctive “pine smoke aroma with longan fruit notes.”

Outside of Tongmuguan, black teas made in the wider Wuyi Mountain area are known as "Xiaozhong black teas" but lack the same signature smoky aroma. Black teas made even farther away are simply called "Kung Fu black teas" and have a more familiar profile to Western black teas. But for those looking to experience an authentic, complex tea with deep roots in Chinese culture, Zhengshan Xiaozhong from Tongmuguan is truly one-of-a-kind.

Introduction:
This Jasmine Black Tea is meticulously selected from the spring harvest. Combining Yunnan black tea from Fengqing, Yunnan, at elevations of approximately 1600 meters, with jasmine flowers from Hengxian, Guangxi, the exceptional growing conditions impart a unique and richly layered flavor to this tea. The plucking standard of one bud and two leaves, paired with fresh jasmine flowers and three scenting processes, ensures a harmonious blend of soft jasmine fragrance and the robust, mellow taste of black tea.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Core Production Area: The black tea is sourced from Fengshan Town, Fengqing County, Yunnan, where the average annual temperature ranges from 18°C to 22°C, with significant daily temperature variations and annual precipitation of 1200-1700 mm. The jasmine flowers are from Hengzhou, Guangxi, which enjoys abundant sunshine, annual rainfall of 1450 mm, and soil rich in organic matter, providing an ideal growing environment.
• Scenting Process: Yunnan black tea serves as the base, while jasmine flowers from Hengzhou, Guangxi, are used for scenting. The traditional scenting process is repeated three times, resulting in a tea where the floral aroma and tea fragrance are perfectly balanced.
• 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.

Rich in honeysuckle-like floral aroma, this Ya Shi Xiang Dancong offers a smooth, full-bodied tea liquor with a naturally sweet and silky texture. Its refreshing finish and uplifting fragrance make it an especially enjoyable floral oolong for daily drinking.

Compared with traditionally heavy-roasted Dancong styles, this version presents a cleaner, fresher, and more aromatic profile while still maintaining satisfying body and depth.

Crafted from autumn-harvest tea leaves grown in Dingyao — one of the core tea-growing areas of Phoenix Mountain, Guangdong — this tea is ideal for drinkers who enjoy highly fragrant oolong teas with a smooth and approachable character. Suitable for both newcomers to Dancong and experienced oolong enthusiasts.

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 Da Hong Pao is a rich and full-bodied Wuyi rock oolong with deep roasted aromas, a smooth texture, and the distinctive mineral character that Wuyi teas are known for. Crafted with a heavier roast, it offers warm roasted notes, layered intensity, and a bold yet comforting finish.

Its strong character makes it especially suitable for those who enjoy darker roasted teas or regularly drink coffee.

This tea comes from the Ban Yan (“half-rock”) area of the Wuyi Mountains. Compared to teas grown in the core rocky region, Ban Yan teas are often smoother, more balanced, and easier to approach, while still retaining the signature roasted and mineral-rich character of Wuyi oolong.

Traditionally, this style of Da Hong Pao is created by blending different Wuyi rock tea cultivars to achieve greater balance, depth, and complexity.

Pinghe County in Fujian is not only the core growing region for Bai Ya Qi Lan but also famous for its Guanxi honey pomelos. Every April, the mountains are filled with blooming pomelo flowers. Tea makers pick the buds just before they open and scent them with Bai Ya Qi Lan, creating the region’s unique Pomelo Blossom Bai Ya Qi Lan. Since the pomelo blossom season lasts only about 20 days, production is very limited.

This Pomelo Blossom Oolong comes from that origin. Its aroma blends the orchid-like fragrance of Bai Ya Qi Lan with the delicate sweetness of pomelo flowers. The tea is fresh, smooth, and naturally sweet, offering both the richness of Oolong and the light, cooling sweetness of citrus blossoms. You’ll notice the gentle sweetness of pomelo flowers at the first sip, followed by the unfolding depth of Oolong. The texture is silky, the aftertaste lingers, and the finish carries a refreshing hint of pomelo blossom.

Scented tea isn’t made only with fresh flowers—aromatic leaves can be used as well. Sticky Rice Aroma Black Tea is a unique specialty from Yunnan, created by scenting Dianhong black tea with sticky rice aroma leaves.
These leaves carry a strong, natural sticky-rice fragrance. In Yunnan, they are often dried and used for tea, seasoning, or traditional remedies. Ethnic groups such as the Dai and Hani use them to clear heat and support digestion. Paired with black tea, which is known for warming the stomach, this blend is especially friendly for those with weak digestion.
This Sticky Rice Aroma Black Tea brings together the sweetness of Dianhong and the comforting sticky-rice fragrance of the leaves. Once brewed, you’ll first notice the rich, natural sticky-rice aroma. The tea tastes smooth, sweet, and full, without bitterness or roughness. The liquor is thick, silky, and a glowing orange-red, offering a warm and soothing feeling—perfect for autumn and winter.
