About Yongchun Beikeng Overseas Chinese Tea Factory 

Founded in 1917, the Yongchun Beikeng Tea Factory has a rich history of producing high-quality teas. Once a bustling hub of innovation and craftsmanship, the factory was home to over 1,000 tea workers at its peak, producing millions of pounds of tea annually. Its products, including Yongchun Fo Shou, were highly sought after in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

Just as many state-owned old factories have experienced ups and downs, in the 1990s, the tea factory once fell into a slump, and the once bustling factory area gradually became desolate. The former factory director, Huang Shenghou, who had created its greatest glory and witnessed its decline, was deeply saddened by its decline and took over the factory himself after privatization.

Today, this aged Yongchun Fo Shou tea stands as a flavorful tribute to the factory's storied past and the enduring legacy of traditional Chinese tea-making.

Tea tree age is one of the most important but often overlooked factors in oolong tea. As tea trees grow older, their root systems deepen, mineral absorption changes, and flavor structure becomes more complex.

This collection explores how tree age shapes oolong tea character. It brings together Shui Xian teas from both Fenghuang (Guangdong) and Wuyi (Fujian), comparing young, mature, and old tea trees from the same cultivars and production methods.

Younger trees tend to produce lighter, fresher teas with bright floral notes. Mature trees develop more body, sweetness, and aromatic depth. Older trees offer richer structure, deeper minerality, and a longer, more lingering finish.

Rather than focusing on origin alone, this set reveals how time in the ground influences flavor in the cup.

Taste them side by side and experience how tree age becomes taste.

Ya Shi Xiang is one of the most aromatic Dancong oolong teas from the Phoenix Mountains in Chaozhou, China, known for its naturally rich floral fragrance and remarkable aromatic complexity.

This collection invites you to experience how the same tea changes across different harvest seasons. All three teas come from the same village and are crafted by the same tea master, ensuring that only nature—the season of harvest—creates the difference.

Spring, fall, and winter each reveal a unique expression of the same tea. Spring is soft and floral with gentle sweetness. Fall is smooth and rounded with warm aromatic depth. Winter is crisp and vibrant with a clean, lingering finish.

Rather than a single tea, this set offers a guided tasting experience that lets you explore how season shape aroma, texture, and flavor in real time.

Oolong tea sits between green and black tea, and its character is shaped primarily by oxidation level—a natural process that transforms aroma, flavor, and texture.

This collection explores how oxidation changes the same tea category across four iconic oolongs from Fujian and Guangdong. Each tea represents a different stage of oxidation, from light and floral to rich and fully developed.

Lightly oxidized teas like Tieguanyin highlight fresh floral and fruity notes. Medium oxidation brings balance and complexity. Higher oxidation develops deeper fruit, honey, and roasted characteristics, culminating in the rich, aromatic profile of Oriental Beauty.

Rather than a single style of tea, this set offers a guided tasting experience that reveals how oxidation defines the core identity of oolong tea.

Soil is one of the most fundamental factors shaping the character of Wuyi Rock Tea. In the Wuyi Mountains, tea trees grow in dramatically different soil environments—from mineral-rich rocky ground to looser red and yellow earth—each shaping aroma, texture, and depth in the cup.

This collection explores how soil influences the same Wuyi Rougui cultivar. All teas are made from the same tea variety and crafted using traditional Wuyi rock tea processing, with soil type as the only key variable.

Gravel soil produces deeper minerality and structure. Red soil brings balance and smoothness. Yellow earth results in a lighter, simpler expression with a softer body.

This Osmanthus Oolong Tea offers a smooth and aromatic tasting experience, opening with the rich, mellow depth of Tieguanyin oolong, followed by an elegant osmanthus floral fragrance that gently lingers on the palate.

Sourced from Anxi, Fujian — the birthplace of Tieguanyin oolong — this tea uses carefully selected Tieguanyin leaves as its base.
