This Yunnan Ancient Tree Black Tea is made from leaves harvested from ancient tea trees in Jingmai Mountain, Yunnan. It is crafted using the traditional sun-dried black tea method (Shai Hong), where the leaves are naturally dried under sunlight instead of being dried with high heat. Unlike many heat-dried black teas, this process helps preserve a cleaner aroma and a more natural sweetness.

The mature tea trees and unique mountain environment contribute to this black tea’s smooth texture, gentle sweetness, and delicate aroma. Compared with bold, malty black teas, it offers a softer and more refined flavor profile with a clean finish.

A naturally crafted Yunnan black tea for those who enjoy subtle flavors, smooth texture.

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.

Keemun Black Tea, one of China’s most famous black teas, originates from Qimen County in Anhui Province. Known as the “Champagne of Black Teas,” it has been treasured by tea lovers around the world for its elegant aroma and refined taste.

Made from local Qimen tea trees in the core production area, this tea showcases the signature “Keemun aroma” — a graceful combination of orchid-like floral notes, fresh apple fragrance, and a subtle honey sweetness. The liquor is smooth and mellow, with a silky texture, balanced body, and a clean, lingering finish.

Keemun is also one of the classic Chinese black teas traditionally used as a base for Earl Grey blends. Its naturally elegant fragrance and gentle sweetness make it an ideal choice for enjoying on its own, while also explaining why it has long been appreciated in Western tea culture.

Traditional Smoked Lapsang Souchong

Originating from Tongmuguan, Wuyi Mountains, the birthplace of Zhengshan Xiaozhong, this Traditional Smoked Lapsang Souchong represents one of the earliest styles of Chinese black tea. Made from local Xiaocai tea leaves and crafted using traditional pine-smoking techniques, it develops its signature smoky character and rich aroma.

The tea releases a distinctive pine smoke fragrance with hints of longan fruit and honey-like sweetness. The taste is bold yet smooth, with a full-bodied texture, deep smoky notes, and a lingering sweet finish. Unlike heavily flavored smoked teas, authentic Tongmuguan Lapsang Souchong offers a balanced and layered experience shaped by its mountain origin and traditional craftsmanship.

A true classic for tea lovers who appreciate complex aromas and the heritage of traditional Chinese black tea.

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.

Sticky Rice Aroma Black Tea is a unique specialty from Yunnan, created by combining classic Dianhong black tea with the naturally fragrant leaves that carry a distinctive sticky-rice aroma. Unlike traditional scented teas made only with flowers, this tea showcases the creativity of Yunnan tea craftsmanship by using aromatic leaves to create a warm and comforting fragrance.

Made with Dianhong black tea from Fengqing, Yunnan, and carefully scented with sticky rice aroma leaves, this tea offers a harmonious blend of rich black tea sweetness and a soft rice-like fragrance. Once brewed, it releases an inviting sticky rice aroma, followed by a smooth, mellow taste with a thick and silky texture.

This Osmanthus Black Tea was freshly scented this autumn, using autumn-harvested black tea paired with autumn-blooming Bao Xin osmanthus. Through careful scenting, it carries a rich osmanthus aroma with a gentle sweetness.
Bao Xin osmanthus is often called the “royalty of osmanthus” for its exceptional quality, has layered petals and a full, rounded center. Compared with regular osmanthus, its blossoms are larger, thicker, and more fragrant. A single round of scenting is enough to infuse the tea with a strong aroma, and dried flowers are often kept in the final product to enhance the flavor.
The tea tastes warm and smooth, almost silky, with a sweet, full-bodied profile. The richness of the black tea and the clean sweetness of osmanthus complement each other, leaving a long-lasting aroma and a clear, pleasant aftertaste. It’s an excellent choice for autumn and winter, offering comforting warmth to both body and stomach.

Gardenia Black Tea captures the beauty of early summer, when fresh gardenia blossoms meet the rich sweetness of Yunnan black tea. Gardenia, a beloved traditional Chinese fragrant flower, is known for its pure, elegant aroma with a naturally refreshing character.

This tea begins with spring-harvested Dianhong from Fengqing, Yunnan, a black tea prized for its smooth texture and honey-like sweetness. Fresh June gardenia blossoms are carefully paired with the tea through three rounds of traditional scenting, allowing the flower’s graceful fragrance to gently blend into the warm, mellow tea base.

The result is a tea with a unique contrast of floral brightness and rich tea depth. The first impression is a fresh gardenia aroma, delicate yet captivating, like stepping into a garden in full bloom. As you sip, the smooth sweetness of Yunnan black tea unfolds, creating a balanced experience that is refreshing, comforting, and beautifully lingering.

Rosa Roxburghii Black Tea is a unique tea specialty from Guizhou, China, made with Rosa roxburghii fruit (Ci Li, 刺梨) and black tea. The fruit is widely known for its naturally high vitamin C content.

Fresh Rosa roxburghii contains around 2000 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, compared to about 50 mg in oranges, which is why it is often called the “King of Vitamin C” in China.

Each autumn, ripe fruits are harvested and their centers are carefully hollowed out. Premium black tea leaves are placed inside the fruit shells, and the fruits are then slowly dried at about 80°C (176°F). This process allows the tea and fruit to gently infuse together, creating a tea that combines the sweet-tart fruit character with the smooth richness of black tea.

This rose black tea brings together two signature ingredients from Yunnan, China: fragrant Yunnan roses and smooth Dianhong black tea.

Yunnan roses are known for their rich, naturally sweet floral aroma. Grown in sunny mountain environments with fresh air, they develop a deeper and more vibrant fragrance.

The tea base is Dianhong black tea, famous for its smooth body and gentle sweetness, often with notes of honey and malt.

Using a traditional Chinese scenting process, fresh rose petals are layered with the tea, allowing the floral aroma to slowly infuse into the tea. This process is repeated three times to create a balanced cup that is soft, floral, and naturally smooth.

What is Silver Junmei black tea ?

Silver Junmei, born in 2005, is a premium-grade masterpiece among Lapsang Souchong black teas, often referred to alongside Golden Junmei as the "Twin Jewels of Black Tea." Sourced from wild tea trees growing at 1500-1800 meters above sea level in Wuyi Mountain, it is made exclusively from one bud and one leaf plucked before Grain Rain (Guyu). It takes 50,000 tender buds to produce just one pound of tea, making the raw material as rare as gold.
Crafted using traditional handmade techniques without smoking or sifting, the tea leaves are tight, slender, and eyebrow-shaped, with a silvery-gray hue and subtle golden tips. The aroma is elegant and refined, with notes of flowers and fruits. When brewed, the liquor is golden and translucent, offering a fresh, mellow, and sweet flavor with a harmonious blend of honeyed sweetness and longan aroma. The brewed leaves are even and coppery, and the tea remains flavorful even after ten infusions.
Due to its demanding production process and limited yield, Silver Junmei embodies both the wild essence of nature and the precision of masterful craftsmanship.
