Huang Jin Gui is a classic oolong tea from Anxi, Fujian, known for its elegant floral aroma and smooth, naturally sweet character.

This tasting-grade Huang Jin Gui offers fresh floral notes with a soft and silky tea liquor. Its flavor profile is similar to lightly roasted Tie Guan Yin, but with a smoother texture, fuller body, and a calmer, more refined aroma.

Compared with more intensely aromatic oolongs, Huang Jin Gui delivers a gentler and more comforting tea experience that is easy to enjoy daily.

An excellent choice for drinkers who enjoy the fresh floral style of Tie Guan Yin and want to explore a softer, rounder expression of Fujian oolong tea.

A classic Chinese pairing designed for moments of restoration. This blend harmonizes the delicate elegance of Hangbaiju Chrysanthemum with the honeyed depth of 2014 Aged Shou Mei White Tea. Beyond the flavor, it is a natural remedy for the digital age—crafted to soothe eyes tired from screen time and clear "inner heat" caused by stress or late nights. It’s a soul-soothing beverage designed to bring clarity and a sense of calm to a restless afternoon.

Discover a tea shaped by nature alone. Grown wild in the remote mountains of Guangxi, this Oolong thrives without fertilizers or pesticides, capturing the raw energy of the high-altitude ecosystem.

• Wild-Grown: 1,000m altitude, harvested only in spring.

• Masterfully Roasted: Crafted with Wuyi Rock Tea techniques for a rich, multi-layered bouquet of flowers and ripe fruit.

Bone China Craftsmanship

• Firing Process: Low-temperature bisque firing followed by high-temperature glaze firing (~1200°C)

• Appearance: Smooth milky-white glaze with a fine, delicate texture

• Double Firing: First fired unglazed for shape stability, then glazed and refired at high temperatures — a complex process with a relatively low yield

• Translucency & Tone: When thin, the body is translucent due to bone ash content. When tapped, it produces a crisp, bell-like sound

How Bone China Affects Tea Flavor

Advantages:

• Neutral & Stable: The chemically inert glaze doesn’t absorb aroma or flavor, making it ideal for highly aromatic teas such as oolong and dancong. Preserves fragrance clarity and detail.

• Fast Heat Dissipation: Thin walls release heat quickly, which prevents delicate green and white teas from over-steeping. Keeps the brew fresh and clean.

Limitation:

• Weaker Heat Retention: Not ideal for teas that require prolonged high temperatures (e.g., aged pu-erh), unless poured promptly.

Recommended Teas for This Bone China Gaiwan

1. Aromatic Oolong Teas

(e.g., Wuyi rock oolong, Dancong, Tie Guan Yin)
✅ Non-absorbent glaze preserves floral, fruity, and roasted aromas
✅ Quick heat dissipation prevents excessive volatilization of aromatic compounds

2. Tender Green Teas

(e.g., Longjing, Biluochun)
✅ Cools quickly to prevent scalding delicate buds, preserving freshness
✅ Smooth glaze enhances the sweet, umami-rich character of the liquor

3. High-Grade Young White Teas

(e.g., Silver Needle, White Peony)
✅ Neutral surface keeps the natural honeyed and floral notes intact
✅ Light glaze highlights the golden hue of the brew and the fine downy buds

4. Sweet-Scented Black Teas

(e.g., Jin Jun Mei, Dianhong)
✅ Locks in sweet and honeyed aromas for a fuller taste
✅ Translucent body enhances visual clarity—“golden rings” appear more vibrant

Conclusion

This bone china gaiwan is the perfect match for aromatic, delicate, and flavor-focused teas. It combines non-absorbency, quick cooling, and clarity to bring out the true character of each brew.

This Wuyi Shui Xian is sourced from Wu San Di, a renowned mountain terroir celebrated for producing exceptional old bush Shui Xian teas. The region is known for teas with distinctive woody aromas, mossy depth, and an exceptionally smooth, full-bodied texture.

Compared with more heavily roasted Wuyi Shui Xian teas, this version features a lighter roast that allows the tea's natural character to shine through. The liquor is brighter, smoother, and more approachable, while still retaining the rich depth and complexity that Shui Xian is known for.

Harvested from tea trees over 70 years old, the tea offers a remarkably silky mouthfeel, enhanced sweetness, and a long, lingering finish. Its balanced aroma and pronounced old bush character create a refined and deeply satisfying drinking experience.

Elegant, smooth, and expressive, this tea is ideal for drinkers who appreciate distinctive woody and mossy notes, balanced aromatics.

Dianhong Golden Bud is one of the most refined varieties of Yunnan black tea, crafted from carefully selected pre-Qingming tender buds of the Fengqing large-leaf tea cultivar. Grown in Fengqing, Yunnan — a region renowned for its exceptional black tea — this tea is made using traditional Dianhong techniques to preserve the natural sweetness and rich aroma of the buds.

The dry leaves are covered with golden tips, producing a bright reddish-gold liquor. It offers a luxurious honey-like aroma, a smooth and full-bodied texture, and a naturally sweet aftertaste that lingers. Compared with Dianhong made from one bud and two leaves, Golden Bud delivers a more delicate, elegant, and refined tea experience.

Perfect for enjoying on its own, this premium Dianhong showcases the classic character of Yunnan black tea through its pure bud material, rich fragrance, and graceful sweetness.

Wild Souchong Black Tea is a distinctive black tea made from wild tea leaves collected from the mountain forests of Guangxi, China. Inspired by the traditional craftsmanship of Lapsang Souchong, this tea brings the character of one of China’s earliest black teas into a lighter, more natural expression shaped by wild-grown tea trees.

Lapsang Souchong has a history of over 400 years and is widely regarded as one of the earliest styles of Chinese black tea. Traditionally associated with pine-smoked tea, it is known for its bold character and distinctive smoky aroma. This Wild Souchong takes inspiration from the traditional style while allowing the natural character of the wild leaves to come forward.

The tea opens with a clean, gentle aroma, followed by delicate notes of dried fruit, wood, and a light, natural sweetness. Its liquor is smooth and refreshing rather than heavy, with a subtle sweetness that gradually lingers on the palate. The finish is clean and clear, revealing the distinctive mountain character of wild tea leaves.

A lighter take on Souchong—naturally sweet, smooth.

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.
