Recommended Purchase 

This aged Jasmine Tea is a rare and exquisite tea that has been naturally stored for over 30 years, making it a true collector’s item. Crafted by the renowned Fuqing Dongge Overseas Chinese Tea Factory in the early 1990s, this tea has undergone decades of natural aging, enhancing its depth of flavor and smoothness. Unlike freshly scented jasmine tea, this aged version offers a more mellow and rich taste with a deep, lingering floral fragrance. It has completely transformed over time, developing a soothing and slightly honeyed undertone while retaining its signature jasmine aroma. This tea is no longer in circulation on the market, making it a unique find for tea connoisseurs and collectors.

What is Aged Jasmine Tea? 

Aged Jasmine Tea is a unique category of jasmine tea that has been carefully stored for decades, allowing its flavors to develop and mature over time. While fresh jasmine tea is prized for its bright floral notes, aged jasmine tea offers a deeper, smoother taste with a richer texture. The aging process enhances the tea’s complexity, reducing any bitterness and infusing it with subtle honeyed sweetness. This type of tea is rare due to its long storage period and the fact that it is no longer in active production, making it highly sought after by tea collectors and enthusiasts.

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.

Some people are looking for caffeine-free green tea. While we currently don’t have any caffeine-free green tea, we’ve found some caffeine-free herbal teas that are made using green tea processing methods, so they share some similar flavor characteristics. These herbal teas have all been used in traditional Chinese medicine. They include the naturally sweet Sweet Tea Tree (Cyclocarya Paliurus), Rock Tea (Shi Ya Cha), which is rich in flavonoids, and Zhangjiajie Mei Tea, known for its high flavonoid content.

 Jin Qian Liu：Sweet Tea Tree (Cyclocarya Paliurus)
Sweet Tea Tree (Cyclocarya Paliurus) is a deciduous tree that grows in southern China. Its leaves are used to make tea, which is popular for its natural sweetness and various health benefits. In traditional Chinese medicine, Sweet Tea Tree tea is used to support healthy blood sugar levels and is considered a natural way to help manage diabetes and promote heart health.

Wild Cliff Tea (Shi Ya Cha)
Rock Tea (Shi Ya Cha) is a rare tea that grows on the high-altitude cliffs of Guangxi, China. It’s harvested from wild tea trees that grow in the cracks of these rocky cliffs, where the soil is rich in nutrients. Known for its strong aroma and sweet taste, it’s often called “tea of the immortals.” Rock Tea is packed with flavonoids and is praised for its rich flavor, as well as its potential to boost immunity and aid digestion.

 Vine Tea 
 Vine Tea (Ampelopsis grossedentata) is a perennial vine primarily found in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China. It thrives at elevations of 400-1500 meters, in misty, humid conditions and special quartz sandstone soil. Originally used as a traditional Tujia medicine, Zhangjiajie Mei Tea is rich in natural active flavonoids, with its young stems and leaves containing over 30% flavonoids on average, and the tender buds having as much as 43.78%. This is why it’s called the “King of Flavonoids.”

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. 

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

Lu'an Guapian is a historic Chinese tea with a royal past, once a tribute tea reserved exclusively for the imperial family. Today, this precious green tea still maintains its unique traditional craftsmanship and flavor profile. Our connoisseur-grade Lu'an Guapian is handcrafted by a tea master with 30 years of experience, using leaves from the small-leaf variety tea plants in Lu'an, Anhui, grown at an altitude of 600 meters. Harvested in the spring, when the leaves are most tender, this tea boasts a rich aroma and a refreshing flavor, making it the optimal picking time of the year. Lu'an Guapian is selectively picked for the second leaf from the bud and two leaves, discarding the stem and the tender bud, retaining the essence of the tea leaf to ensure the purity and delicate freshness of the tea soup.

Why choose our connoisseur-grade spring Lu'an Guapian?

Top-tier tender leaves picked in spring: Harvested in the spring, these leaves are at their peak freshness, offering a more vibrant flavor, rich aroma, and a longer-lasting aftertaste with a higher degree of freshness in the tea soup.
Stem-free purity: All stems are removed, leaving only the carefully selected leaves for a purer taste, free from woody or astringent flavors, resulting in a refreshing and naturally sweet tea soup.
The freshness and aftertaste of high-mountain tea: Grown at an altitude of 600 meters, the slow growth cycle imparts a more refreshing taste and enduring aftertaste, with a rich mouthfeel and prominent chestnut aroma.
Handcrafted, preserving traditional skills: Meticulously hand-fried by a tea master with 30 years of experience, this tea retains traditional production techniques, ensuring the high quality of each leaf.
Authentic origin, unique terroir: Sourced from the core production area in Jinzhai County, Lu'an, Anhui, the small-leaf variety tea plants grow in traditional agricultural tea gardens with a history dating back to the 1960s and 1970s. The natural growth of the tea plants ensures the natural flavor of the leaves.

Reasons to recommend:

This spring Lu'an Guapian is ideal for consumers who love tender and refreshing flavors. Its spring harvest, pure tea soup, refreshing taste, and lasting aftertaste are particularly suitable for consumers who pursue a high-quality tea experience. If you're looking for a green tea with a refreshing chestnut aroma and natural sweetness, this tea will surely satisfy you.

Not suitable for:

If you prefer strong, bitter flavors or are not accustomed to the light taste of green tea, this tea may not meet your taste preferences. Additionally, as it is a high-end connoisseur-grade spring green tea, it is slightly more expensive than regular green tea, so budget-conscious consumers might consider more economical options.

Xinyang Maojian is a standout Chinese green tea from the heart of its production area in Xinyang, Henan Province.

Natural Purity: Grown in a clean, natural environment, this tea captures the essence of its surroundings, ensuring a flavor that's pure and untainted.

High-Altitude Tea Garden: Our Xinyang Maojian comes from tea gardens at an altitude of 900 meters, where the fresh air and superior soil give the tea a unique flavor and aroma, ensuring every sip is packed with nature's essence.

One Bud and One Leaf Tenderness: We only select the highest-grade tea leaves, primarily one bud and one leaf, ensuring the tenderness and quality of the tea. This picking standard means each leaf is covered in fine white down, a sign of its superior quality.

Harvested Before Grain Rain: This tea is picked at the optimal time before Grain Rain, when the spring tea is at its most tender and the aroma and taste are at their peak. Picking at this time preserves the natural flavor and vitality of the tea leaves.

Collaboration with Professional Tea Farmers: We collaborate with Master Yang, a tea farmer with over 20 years of experience in tea cultivation and production, ensuring that each batch of tea meets high-quality standards.

Xinyang Maojian is the ideal choice for those who pursue a high-quality lifestyle and a refined tea culture experience.

Limited availability: Only 100 sets, each set is 100g (25g of each tea)

Why choose Enshi’s native tea plant, the Entai Early variety?
For Enshi Yulu, we’ve selected the local Enshi native variety—Entai Early, a traditional “group variety” that’s been naturally selected and cultivated over time. This type of tea tree is more adaptable, has a longer lifespan, and offers more stable and complex flavors. It truly reflects the local environment and soil. Choosing group varieties ensures a purer, more nuanced taste profile, bringing you a natural, multi-layered tea experience.

What makes the core Enshi Yulu region special?
We’ve chosen the core tea-growing region in Enshi—Baiyangping Township in the Dabao Ping Group. This high-altitude area benefits from perfect growing conditions, with rich soil, plenty of sunlight, and a significant temperature difference between day and night. These conditions make the tea leaves grow slower and more concentrated in flavor, producing a tea with a deeper, purer taste that has both consistency and stability. Compared to other regions, Enshi Yulu from this area offers a more refined and authentic flavor.

2025 Huangshan Maofeng First Flush - Seasonal Rare Tea(Pre-sale)

His tea garden is located at an elevation of 800 meters, where wild Jinzhai native tea trees grow naturally. These trees thrive in the pure environment, producing tea with natural aromas and a unique flavor profile. This year’s tea was picked around March 20th, during the first pluck of the spring season, using fresh, tender buds and leaves to ensure top-notch freshness and fragrance.

Why Choose Jinzhai Huangshan Maofeng Instead of Traditional Huangshan Maofeng?
While traditional Huangshan Maofeng is well-known, we’ve chosen Master Yu’s Jinzhai Huangshan Maofeng because it offers the same exceptional quality and unique flavor, but at a more accessible price. Jinzhai is not part of the core Huangshan region, but its natural environment makes it an ideal place for tea cultivation. The wild, native tea trees here have been growing for many years and produce tea with a flavor very similar to Huangshan Maofeng. The purity of the environment gives the tea a quality comparable to that of the famous Huangshan teas, but with a better price-to-quality ratio.

Why Choose Huangshan Maofeng Group Varieties?
We’ve selected Huangshan Maofeng made from group variety tea plants because it captures the most traditional, pure Huangshan Maofeng flavor. Group variety tea trees are grown from seeds, so they have natural genetic diversity. These trees have undergone years of natural selection, making them more stable and adaptable, which allows them to better reflect the natural flavor of the region.

Compared to modern tea plantations with clonal, asexual propagation, group variety tea trees grow in a more natural environment with deeper root systems. This results in richer, more complex tea flavors. The older age of these trees and their long exposure to the natural environment means they carry the most original tea aromas, delivering a tea with more depth and layers.

2025 Biluochun First Flush - Rare Reserve Spring Tea(Pre-sale)
We’re excited to offer you the 2025 Early Spring First Flush Bi Luo Chun, sourced from the tea garden of Master Zhang in Dongguan Village, Dai Bu Town, Liyang City, Jiangsu Province. Master Zhang has over 20 years of tea-making experience, having learned from his father, who has been a renowned tea master for over 40 years. Master Zhang has kept traditional tea-making methods alive, using hand-rolling, roasting, and drying techniques passed down through generations. This year's tea is picked in late March, around March 20, and features tender, fresh leaves at the "one bud, one leaf" stage, ensuring the highest quality flavor and aroma.

Product details:

Craftmaster: Zhang Hansong (30 years expertise)
Tea Varietal: Jiukeng Cultivar

Production Date: Crafted around March 20, 2025

Limited Availability: Only 50 packages available, each 50g

Expected shipping around April 5-10

Why We Source Biluochun from Liyang's Dai Town Instead of Lake Dongting
While Lake Dongting's Biluochun gets the hype, our Liyang Dai Town tea is the purist's pick. Think of it like craft beer vs. mass-produced lager – both quench your thirst, but one's got soul. Grown 60 miles west of Dongting in pollution-free mountain air, these old-growth tea bushes (the hardy 'Jiukeng' variety) have weathered decades to develop complex flavors. You get that classic Biluochun vibe, minus the touristy markup.

Why Handcrafted Beats Machine-Made
Master Zhang treats tea like a slow-cooked meal – no shortcuts. His hands knead each leaf to unlock natural oils (that's where the floral magic happens!), while factory machines just crush and rush. It's the difference between grandma's pie crust and frozen supermarket stuff. Want silky texture and aroma that dances on your tongue? That's the artisan craft talking.

This particular tea comes from a high-altitude tea garden in the mountains of Zhejiang’s Xingchang region, with harvesting taking place around March 25th, making it a premium first flush green tea—early-picked, tender, and rare.

Why Our Early Spring Harvest Stands Out
Discover the pinnacle of spring tea craftsmanship with our limited 2025 First Flush Longjing. Harvested in late March from the youngest buds of century-old tea bushes, these tender leaves capture the essence of the season with unmatched floral aroma and velvety smoothness.

Xinchang vs. West Lake: A Hidden Gem
We source exclusively from Xinchang, Zhejiang — a pristine mountain region 2,000+ ft above sea level. Unlike crowded West Lake plantations, our organic tea gardens thrive in crisp air and mineral-rich soil, yielding a cleaner, crisper cup with subtle honey undertones.

Old-Growth Tea Bushes: Nature’s Flavor Laboratory
Our 50+ year-old heirloom tea varietals (Longjing Quntizhong) are the OG of green tea. These hardy plants adapt to mountain microclimates, creating complex layers of flavor — think fresh chestnut notes with a lingering orchid finish. Perfect for tea connoisseurs seeking authentic, small-batch quality.
