Introduction:
This Jasmine Bai Hao is meticulously selected from the spring harvest of 2023. Plucked from high-altitude tea gardens in northern Fujian, at elevations of approximately 1000 meters, the exceptional growing conditions impart a fresh and richly layered flavor to this jasmine tea. The plucking standard of exclusively whole buds, combined with nine scenting processes, ensures a vibrant, luxurious floral aroma, a refreshing and mellow taste, and a sweet, lingering aftertaste with a hint of rock sugar sweetness.
Reasons to Recommend:
- Core Production Area: Grown in northern Fujian, where the climate is warm, humid, and evergreen year-round. With abundant sunshine, ample rainfall, and a frost-free period of 326 days, the region provides an ideal environment for tea cultivation.
- Scenting Process: Fuding Big Pekoe serves as the tea base, while jasmine flowers from Fuzhou, Fujian, are used for scenting. The traditional scenting process is repeated nine times, resulting in a tea that is described as uplifting, soothing, and warming, evoking the image of a jasmine flower slowly blooming.
- Whole Bud Material: The plump, straight bud tips are covered in abundant, visible white hairs, indicating their tenderness. These buds absorb the jasmine fragrance more effectively during scenting, resulting in a more intense, fresh aroma and a smoother taste. The tea retains its flavor and aroma even after multiple infusions.

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.

Introduction:
This Qidan Da Hong Pao is meticulously selected from the spring harvest of 2023. Sourced from the purest Wuyi rock tea in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian (the most authentic origin), the exceptional growing conditions and specific cultivar impart a truly authentic flavor profile. Crafted by master tea maker Chen Hai, who has decades of experience, this tea guarantees a rich, sweet aftertaste with a subtle osmanthus fragrance.
Reasons to Recommend:
- Core Production Area: Grown in the heart of Wuyi Mountain, Fujian, where the average annual temperature ranges from 16°C to 25°C, the frost-free period lasts 253-272 days, and annual rainfall is around 2000 mm. The relative humidity is 78%-84%, and the acidic red soil, rich in organic matter and minerals, contributes to the unique flavor of Da Hong Pao tea trees.
- Pure Cultivar: The mother trees of Da Hong Pao grow on the steep cliffs of Jiulongke in the Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve. Due to their limited yield and exceptional quality, the purebred Da Hong Pao is propagated asexually from cuttings of these mother trees and processed separately.
- High-Altitude Tea Gardens: This tea is cultivated in high-altitude gardens in Wuyi Mountain, where the superior climate enhances the tea's richness, delivering a fuller, sweeter aftertaste and a more intense, lingering aroma with a pronounced "rock essence."
- Unique Roasting Process: Premium tea leaves are slowly roasted under gentle heat, developing a sweet fragrance with a subtle smoky undertone.
