Introduction:
This Hubei Dark Tea is meticulously selected from the autumn harvest of 2022. Plucked from high-altitude tea gardens in Zhaoliqiao Town, Hubei Province, it adheres to the plucking standard of one bud and three leaves. This tea is a type of Hubei Dark Tea known as "Mi Zhuan Cha" (Rice Brick Tea), renowned for its unique flavor profile. The tea liquor is rich and robust, with a slight initial bitterness that transforms into a lasting sweet aftertaste. It primarily exudes a floral and honey-like aroma, accompanied by a subtle aged fragrance.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Unique Raw Material: Mi Zhuan Cha is a specialty tea produced in Chibi City, Hubei Province, known as the "Hometown of Chinese Brick Tea." It is a compressed black tea made entirely from tea dust, which gives it the name "Rice Brick Tea."
• Distinct Appearance: The finished Mi Zhuan Cha is visually striking, with sharp edges, a smooth surface adorned with intricate patterns, and a glossy black brick color. When brewed, it produces a deep red liquor with a pure aroma and a rich, mellow taste.

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.

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 Enshi Yulu First Flush - Jade Dew Limited Edition(Pre-sale)
We’re excited to bring you the 2025 Early Spring First Pluck Enshi Yulu, a premium green tea from Enshi City, Hubei Province, located in the beautiful Baiyangping Township. This tea is grown in the heart of the Enshi Yulu region at an elevation of 800-900 meters, surrounded by fresh, clean air and pristine nature—one of the core growing areas for Enshi Yulu. Master Zhang Yi, with over 20 years of tea-making experience, is a national-level senior tea master and tea evaluator. He follows in his father’s footsteps, blending traditional tea-making skills with modern techniques to craft every leaf with care. The leaves are picked around March 20th, during the first pluck of the season, when the leaves are at their freshest with a tender bud and one leaf.

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.

Introduction:
This 2018 Liubao tea is sourced from high-altitude tea gardens in Guilin, Guangxi, and made from high-grade one-bud-three-leaf material. After five years of aging, the tea has undergone sufficient fermentation and transformation, developing a unique flavor profile with a distinctive betel nut aroma, a bright red liquor, and a smooth, mellow taste with a slightly sweet aftertaste.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Core Production Area: Grown in Liubao Town, Wuzhou City, Guangxi, where the average annual temperature is 21.1°C, annual rainfall is 1503.6 mm, and annual sunshine duration is 1915 hours. The abundant rainfall and vast mountainous terrain create an ideal environment for tea cultivation.
• Unique Aroma: The "betel nut aroma" of Liubao tea originates from a faint "pine smoke fragrance" in newly made tea, which transforms into the distinctive "betel nut aroma" after prolonged aging. This aroma creates a lasting "cooling" sensation in the mouth.
• Rich History: Liubao tea flourished during the Tang and Song dynasties and reached its peak during the Ming and Qing dynasties. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing dynasty, it was recognized as one of China's 24 famous teas for its unique betel nut aroma.
• Dual Benefits: Liubao dark tea holds a special place in traditional Chinese medicine. It is both cooling and warming, said to eliminate excess dampness while providing warmth when needed.

Tea Garden Soil: Yellow soil
Master Blender: Liu Yongqiang
Processing Time: 2018

Introduction:
This Anhua Dark Tea is meticulously selected from the autumn harvest of 2021. Plucked from wild tea gardens in Anhua County, Hunan Province, it adheres to the plucking standard of one bud and three leaves. Recognized by the global tea and medical communities as one of the healthiest beverages of the 21st century, this tea exudes a unique pine smoke aroma when brewed, offering a pure, mellow, and sweet taste with a lasting aftertaste.

Reasons to Recommend:

• Special Processing Technique: Anhua Dark Tea undergoes a unique "wet piling" (wo dui) process twice—once during the initial processing of raw tea and again during the final product processing. This process utilizes the temperature and humidity of the tea leaves after fixation, allowing microorganisms in the air to interact with the leaves, resulting in the transformation of the tea's internal compounds.
• Premium Quality: This Anhua Dark Tea (Tianjian) is considered the finest variety available on the market and was historically treasured as a tribute tea for emperors.
• Unique Aroma: A special step in the production of Anhua Dark Tea is the "Seven Star Stove" roasting. During this process, pine wood is burned beneath the stove, and the pine smoke is channeled into the tea leaves, infusing them with a distinctive pine smoke aroma while drying.

Oxidation Level: Wet piling fermentation
Roasting Level: Seven Star Stove pine smoke roasting
Tea Garden Soil: Weathered slate soil
Processing Time: 2021
Best Before Date: Suitable for long-term storage
Tea Variety: Anhua Group Variety

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.

About Yongchun Beikeng Overseas Chinese Tea Factory：

Established in 1958, the state-owned Fujian Yongchun Beikeng Overseas Chinese Tea Factory carries a rich history and cultural heritage of tea production. At its peak, the factory was a bustling hub of innovation and craftsmanship, employing over 1,000 tea workers and producing millions of pounds of tea annually. Its teas, including Tieguanyin, were exported to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Southeast Asia, earning widespread acclaim and becoming a shining symbol of Fujian's tea culture.

However, by the 1990s, the factory fell into decline, and its once-vibrant grounds grew quiet. Unable to bear seeing his life's work fade away, the veteran factory director, Huang Shenghou, took over after its privatization, dedicating himself to reviving the factory and preserving its tea-making legacy.

Today, the factory's aged Tieguanyin not only embodies decades of tea-making expertise but also continues to showcase the timeless charm of Yongchun's Tieguanyin. The story of the Fujian Yongchun Beikeng Overseas Chinese Tea Factory reflects the dedication and innovation of generations of tea artisans, and its aged Tieguanyin carries forward this remarkable legacy.

What is Hei Zhuan Tea Dark Tea? 

Hei Zhuan Tea (Black Brick Tea) is named for its use of dark raw tea (Hei Mao Cha) as the primary material, which gives the tea its dark, glossy color, and its brick-like shape when compressed. The raw material is sourced from high-quality dark raw tea produced in tea factories in Anhua and other counties.
In the past, the raw material was divided into two types: surface tea (higher quality) and inner tea (lower quality). During compression, the lower-quality tea was pressed inside, while the higher-quality tea was used on the surface. However, since the early 1970s, the labor-intensive and time-consuming traditional process was streamlined. The tea is now blended in the appropriate ratio of surface and inner tea and compressed in a single step.
During production, the raw material is first sifted, shaped, winnowed, and cleaned. It is then blended in specific proportions. For machine pressing, the tea is sterilized using high-temperature steam, compressed under high pressure, inspected and trimmed, and slowly dried before being packaged into the final brick form.
When brewed, Hei Zhuan Tea yields a liquor the color of amber, with a rich, mellow flavor and a pure, clean aroma. Long-term consumption of this tea is believed to aid digestion, regulate metabolism, and provide health benefits and preventive effects for the body.

If you prefer a lighter flavor, you can adjust the ratio to 1 part tea to 15 parts water (for example, 10 grams of tea to 150 milliliters of water) and follow the same steps.
