- An old Chinese saying amongst tea connoisseurs: “Where there is cloud and mist, there is bound to be good tea.” Welcome to that very place. Nestled in the rugged landscapes of Jiangxi Province, the peaks of Lu Mountain (Mount Lu) pierce through a sea of clouds for nearly half the year. It is here, on these high-altitude, mist-shrouded slopes, that our 2026 Lu Shan Yun Wu Green Tea—the legendary "Lu Mountain Cloud & Mist"—is born.
- Close your eyes and imagine the highest peaks of Lu Mountain, piercing through a soft, endless sea of clouds. The air is cool, clean, and thick with mist. The sun is gentle. This is the birthplace of the world‘s most sought-after spring awakening.
- Mt. Lushan (Lushan Mountain) is located in the south of Jiujiang City of Jiangxi Province. It stands by the Yangtze River and the Poyang Lake. It is a key national scenic resort and has been included in the List of World Natural Heritages. Mt. Lushan is a horst block mountain and has been known for its majesty, uniqueness, precipitous terrain, and elegance. It has 26 peaks, 20 valleys, 16 grottos, 22 grotesque rocks, 22 waterfalls, 18 springs, and 14 lakes and pools. The famous Three-step Waterfall (Chinese: 三叠泉瀑布) has a drop of 155 meters. In the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 – 220), Mt. Lushan became one of the Buddhist centers of China.
- Lushan Mountain is featured by high altitude, great seasonal temperature difference, strong irradiation of ultraviolet, could and mist suffusion in half a year, and murmuring spring. This environment offers advantageous growing conditions for tea trees and facilitates the compounding of aromatic substances in them, thus contributing to the top quality of Lushan Cloud-fog Tea.

And it is, quite simply, the taste of spring itself.
This isn‘t a tea you merely drink; it‘s a tea you experience. It’s the very first harvest—the 2026 Pre-Qingming (Ming Qian) Special Grade. These are the smallest, most precious buds, hand-plucked during the quiet, sacred days just before the spring rains intensify. After a long winter’s nap, the plant has stored all its energy into these tiny, jade-green leaves, creating a concentration of flavor so sweet, so smooth, it‘s almost intoxicating. - Watch as the leaves slowly, gracefully unfurl in the hot water, releasing their essence. The liquor turns a pale, luminous yellow-green, like sunlight filtering through new spring leaves. Bring the cup to your nose and inhale. The aroma is clean, high, and complex—a gentle orchid floral note dances with a hint of fresh, sweet grass and a subtle, creamy vanilla-like undertone.

Take a sip. Let it sit on your tongue.
The texture is the first thing you‘ll notice. It’s not thin or watery; it has a beautiful, soft mouthfeel—almost buttery or creamy—that coats your palate. Then comes the flavor. It‘s intensely vegetal, but in the most elegant way. Think of the sweetness of just-harvested snow peas, the tender heart of a young butterhead lettuce, or a delicate, savory vegetable broth made by a master chef. - There is absolutely zero astringency, zero bitterness. Just a pure, clean, sweet flavor that slowly gives way to a long, lingering finish. This "hui gan," or sweet return, is the tea’s signature—a gentle, mouth-watering sweetness that stays with you, a memory of the misty mountains long after the cup is empty.
This is the magic of Lu Shan Yun Wu Green Tea of Jiangxi. It‘s a tea that refreshes, invigorates, and soothes all at once. It’s a cup of pure, high-mountain tranquility. -
Why This Year‘s Harvest is Extraordinary
When you open the pouch, you‘re greeted by a fragrance so fresh it’s dizzying—a bright, crisp snap of new greens, like the first pea shoots of the season, mingling with the warm, toasty whisper of roasting chestnuts. The leaves themselves are a work of art: tightly curled, covered in a soft, silvery down, and shimmering with a deep, forest-green vitality.

Glass Cup Brewing Method:
• The ratio of green tea to water is 1:50, and a glass cup of about 300ml can pour 5g of tea.
• Pour water into the cup (the water temperature is 80~85°C), pour it slowly along the wall of the cup, and let the tea leaves fully infiltrate. The speed of water injection should not be too fast.
• Wait for 3 to 5 minutes, and you can drink the delicious, green tea soup, and then when you drink 1/3 of the teacup, you can refill the water again, usually brew three times.

Frequently Asked Questions
It‘s called "Cloud and Mist." Does that actually affect the taste?
It defines the taste. The high peaks of Lu Mountain are shrouded in mist for over 190 days a year. This constant, gentle cloud cover acts as a natural filter, diffusing the sunlight. The tea plants don‘t have to work as hard, so they grow slower and focus on producing more chlorophyll (the deep green color) and amino acids (the sweet, umami flavor). That’s why this Lushan Cloud-fog Tea has that distinctive buttery texture and sweet pea flavor that you can't find anywhere else.
The leaves look tightly curled. How many times can I really steep them?
These leaves have a lot to give. Unlike tea bags that are spent after one use, these whole leaves will slowly unfurl over multiple infusions. We recommend at least three steeps. The first steep offers the delicate vegetal top-notes. The second steep (add 15 seconds) often brings out the buttery texture and chestnut sweetness. The third steep can reveal a subtle floral or mineral quality. It‘s a journey in a cup.
I‘ve seen "Lu Shan Yun Wu" and "Lu Mountain Cloud & Mist." Are they the same thing?
Yes, exactly. It‘s a translation preference. "Lu Shan" is the pinyin for Mount Lu, and "Yun Wu" directly translates to "Cloud and Mist." So whether you search for Lushan Yunwu, Lu Shan Yun Wu Green Tea Loose Leaf, or Cloud-Fog Green Tea, you're looking for this same prestigious tea from Jiangxi.
How do I brew this to get the most out of it?
It‘s simple! The golden rule is COOLER WATER. Boil your water, then let it sit for 3-5 minutes. You want it hot, but not violently boiling—aim for about 175°F. Use about 2-3 grams (a heaping teaspoon) for an 8oz cup. Pour the water over the leaves and steep for just 2-3 minutes. Watch the leaves dance and unfurl! You can re-steep the same leaves 2 or 3 more times, adding 30 seconds to each subsequent steep, and taste how the flavor evolves.
