Antioxidant-Rich Tea

The First Taste of Spring — Rich, Nutty & Smooth

The finest Longjing begins with the very first buds of early April — a brief moment that defines its most prized character.

Handpicked from Zhejiang and crafted from traditional Qunti Zhong cultivar, these early leaves are rich in amino acids, creating a smooth, rounded body with a distinctive roasted bean aroma and warm nutty notes.

As the season advances, this depth and sweetness begin to fade — which is why First Flush Longjing is considered the most complete expression of this iconic tea.

Harvested within a short seasonal window, only once a year.
A rich and comforting taste of spring.

Explore the best of Chinese spring tea with the 2026 First Flush Green Tea Collection.

This set includes 4 iconic green teas:

• Longjing (Dragon Well)

• Biluochun

• Huangshan Maofeng

• Enshi Yulu

All teas are handpicked as First Flush, the earliest harvest after winter dormancy. At this time, the young buds are rich in amino acids, creating a cup that is exceptionally fresh, smooth, and naturally sweet.

From nutty and smooth to floral and vegetal, this collection lets you experience the diversity of Chinese green tea in one set.

The First Taste of Spring — Fresh,  Fragrant

Biluochun reveals its most captivating character in the earliest days of spring.

Handpicked in early April from Dongting Mountain in Suzhou, these tender buds grow among fruit trees — a unique terroir that naturally infuses the tea with a fresh aroma and a bright, lively taste.

Picked at their youngest stage, the leaves are exceptionally delicate, offering a clarity and fragrance that later harvests cannot replicate.

Available only during a short spring window, once a year.
A vibrant and aromatic expression of spring.

The First Taste of Spring — Light, Clean & Delicate

The elegance of Huangshan Maofeng is defined by its earliest harvest.

Handpicked in early April from high-altitude mountains of Anhui (around 800 meters), these young leaves develop a lighter, more refined profile shaped by the cool, misty environment.

The result is a clean vegetal aroma, gentle sweetness, and a smooth, refreshing finish — soft, balanced, and quietly expressive.

As the season progresses, this delicacy diminishes, making First Flush the most prized selection.

Limited to a short harvest window each year.
A pure and delicate taste of spring.

Fuding White Peony (Bai Mudan) is one of the most beloved styles of Chinese white tea, valued for its elegant floral aroma, gentle sweetness, and refreshing character. Made from the tender buds and first young leaves of the Fuding Da Bai tea variety, it captures the delicate beauty of young tea leaves while offering a fuller flavor than Silver Needle.

Crafted in Fuding, Fujian, the birthplace of white tea, this tea follows traditional sun-drying techniques to preserve the leaves’ natural freshness and purity. The result is a smooth and balanced white tea with soft floral notes, subtle sweetness, and a clean finish. Its approachable yet layered character makes it an excellent choice for those new to white tea and for experienced tea drinkers seeking an authentic Fuding white tea experience.

The First Taste of Spring — Steamed Freshness & Umami Depth

Enshi Yulu captures spring in one of the most distinctive ways among Chinese green teas.

Harvested in early April from the mountains of Hubei, its youngest buds are processed using a rare steaming technique — preserving natural chlorophyll and active compounds at their peak.

This method gives the tea its vibrant green color, a gentle seaweed-like aroma, and a fresh, umami-rich taste with a smooth, clean finish.

Unlike pan-fired teas, its freshness feels brighter and more vivid — a true expression of preserved spring vitality.

Only produced once a year, within a short seasonal window.
A uniquely fresh and lively taste of spring.

Fuding Silver Needle White Tea is the purest expression of traditional Chinese white tea. Made entirely from the unopened spring buds of the Fuding Da Bai tea variety, each delicate bud is carefully handpicked during the short early spring harvest season, when the tea plant concentrates its most refined flavors.

Originating from Fuding, Fujian, the birthplace of white tea, this tea follows traditional sun-drying craftsmanship with minimal processing, allowing the natural character of the fresh buds to shine. The fine white hairs covering the buds give Silver Needle its signature silver appearance and help preserve its gentle sweetness and freshness.

Unlike White Peony or Gongmei, which include young leaves for a fuller tea body, Silver Needle offers a lighter and more elegant experience. Its beauty lies in subtlety: a clean floral aroma, silky texture, honey-like sweetness, and a refreshing finish that reflects the pure essence of the tea plant itself.

Perfect for those seeking a refined daily tea or a meaningful introduction to authentic Fuding white tea, Silver Needle can be enjoyed fresh for its bright and delicate character or carefully stored to develop greater depth over time.
