Da Hong Pao / Big Red Robe - 大红袍 (5g*1 packet)
When you ask a native of Wuyi Mountain, they will tell you that Da Hong Pao stands as the most famous rock oolong tea without exception. This tea exhibits a bold flavor profile that delivers multiple rich layers of taste. The rich roasted aroma stands out as its most notable feature. The tea presents smooth flavors with caramel tones and chocolate layers plus a hint of mineral finish.
Ancient Tree Shui Xian - 60 years - 老枞水仙 (5g*1 packet)
Ancient Tree Shui Xian, also called Old Bush Shui Xian, is like a living fossil in the world of oolong tea. It gets its name because the leaves are picked from tea bushes at least 60 years old. "Shui Xian" is simply the name of this specific tea bush variety. The tea offers a robust smooth taste with mineral notes that leads to a lasting aftertaste. The woody taste of this tea blends well with caramel notes which perfectly pair with tasty snacks during your daily tea time.
Tongmuguan Lapsang Souchong - 正山小种 (5g*1 packet)
The Tongmuguan Lapsang Souchong exhibits a strong smoky scent similar to that of a cozy campfire. The brewed tea offers sweetness and a clear caramel smell which may remind you of brown sugar. It tastes of longan and ripe grains, and the smokiness also fills your mouth. I mean maybe, in addition to the brewing method of Gongfu tea, you can try mixing it with milk, that would be a fascinating cup of milk tea.
Tongmuguan Wild Black Tea - 野生红茶 (5g*1 packet)
The Wild Black Tea originates from Tongmuguan's remote region which serves as a special setting for wild tea tree cultivation. The tea exhibits toasted aromas and deep flavors similar to sweet potato and honey. The rich flavor spreads throughout your mouth as you drink it with sweet nectar and fruity notes plus slight woodiness and toasty mouthfeel.
Tie Guan Yin Oolong - 铁观音 (5g*1 packet)
The leaves of Anxi Tie Guan Yin Oolong from southern Fujian feature tight rolls and a shiny sandy green look. It emits a rich and aromatic fragrance. When you taste it, the tea feels very creamy. The tea begins with a slight bitterness before turning into sweetness. And it finishes with a clear orchid-like floral taste that provides a pleasant enduring aftertaste. When you want classic oolong tea style, Tie Guan Yin is your best choice.
Dong Ding Oolong - 冻顶乌龙 (5g*1 packet)
Dong Ding Oolong originated in Nantou County, Taiwan. The distinctive yellow-green tea soup of this tea creates an exceptionally fresh taste. The fragrance delivers a perfect mix of elegance and cleanliness. A pleasant sweetness remains in your mouth after you swallow the tea. Besides, the light roasting process enhances the tea fragrance by providing warm toasted undertones, that's why you can notice a hint of caramel sweetness.
Jasmine Snowflakes - 茉莉飞雪 (5g*1 packet)
The moment you open the packaging your senses will be captivated by the strong scent of jasmine flowers mingled with tea leaves. Craftsmen produce this tea by rolling one bud and one leaf together and infusing them with the aroma of freshly picked jasmine blossoms. The jasmine fragrance rises from the tea soup during steeping while the leaves move elegantly through the cup. The jasmine petals gradually float to the surface, becoming translucent like melting snow.
2017 Shou Mei - 2017年寿眉 (7g*2 biscuits)
After 8 years of storage and aging, this Shou Mei white tea has developed just the right flavor and aroma. A soft, aged scent lingers around the dry leaves, comforting and pleasant. Once brewed, the tea releases rich notes of red dates and natural Chinese herbs. Thanks to the abundant pectin found in aged white tea, the tea soup feels thick and smooth, almost like rice soup. Each piece is pressed into a small "biscuit" shape, so you won’t need to struggle with a tea knife to break pieces off a large cake.
