For finest taste, tea should be stored in a place that is cool and dry.
Rock tea is best enjoyed within a 3-year period.
Black tea is best enjoyed within a 2-year period.
Green tea and Oolong tea are best enjoyed within a 2-year period.
White tea is an exception. Its internal compounds evolve over time, enhancing its fragrance and creating a deeper, mellower taste. Therefore, it does not have a specific optimal drinking period.

What are the “roots” of Rooteas?
Family-made
Our teas all come from tea-making families. Some are made by our own family, and others are crafted by families we've known and trusted for years. Not from an unknown source, but from real people and family producers whose craft we trust and have seen in person.
Single-origin
It means you can actually taste where the tea comes from. It stays true to its own place, so the local soil, rocks, and climate all come through in the cup. With Wuyi rock oolong, you get that clear rock rhythm (Yan Yun) and a deep, lingering fragrance that only those rocky slopes can give. When you drink it, you're not just having a cup of tea, you're getting a small snapshot of that landscape.
Transparency
We like to keep things honest and simple. When we share a tea, we share all the detailed information too, so you always know what you're drinking. We'd love to be the trusted tea partner you can turn to.
- Name: Hua Xiang Jin Mu Dan (“Floral Golden Peony”)
- Chinese name & Pinyin: 花香金牡丹 huā xiāng jīn mǔ dān
- Type: Wuyi Black Tea
- Origin: Cao Dun, Wuyishan, Fujian
- Cultivar: Jin Mu Dan
- Harvest Time: Spring, 2026
- Producer: Xiao Family
- Tasting note: Floral note, Subtle creaminess, Light fruit note
This Jin Mu Dan shows a more floral side of the cultivar. A gardenia-like aroma comes through first, followed by soft fruit note, and a subtle creamy touch in the background. The fragrance feels layered rather than obvious in just one direction. The floral, fruity, and creamy notes sit closely together, so you may find yourself slowing down a little and trying to pick them apart.
Jin Mu Dan Cultivar
Jin Mu Dan is a modern tea cultivar from Fujian, known for its naturally expressive aroma.
It was bred from Tie Guan Yin and Huang Jin Gui, two cultivars already known for fragrance, so its fruity and floral character comes naturally from the leaf itself. When made as black tea, Jin Mu Dan often brings fruity sweetness, a floral aroma, and a smooth, rounded liquor.
Tea: 5g
Gaiwan: 110–150ml

(When possible, use spring water, purified water, or good-quality mineral water. Avoid using very hard water.)

Note: Be sure to pour out the tea soup completely after each infusion. Do not let it sit in the gaiwan.
(Adjust the tea amount and steeping time to suit your own taste.)
