During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, that is, from 1735 to 1795 AD, a tea tree in Pengxi, Qiling Township, Pinghe County, emerged. Its newly sprouted buds and leaves were white-green. Tea farmers had an idea and picked these fresh leaves and carefully made them into oolong tea. As a result, this tea not only exudes a charming orchid fragrance, but also presents a emerald green color and a clear and bright apricot yellow soup color. In order to commemorate this unique tea tree, people named it \"Bai Ya Qi Lan\", and the oolong tea made from it also got its name from this.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Buds Chelan tea is a tea with a unique flavor, famous for its refreshing taste and charming aroma.

After about 40 hours of charcoal roasting, White Buds Chelan presents a charcoal-roasted version. This process is not only conducive to the preservation of tea, but also makes its soup golden, mellow and long-lasting orchid fragrance. When drinking, the taste is smooth, with a slightly dry and slightly bitter smell at first, followed by a mouth-watering, long-lasting sweetness, like a small spring, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompared with the elegance of Tieguanyin and the strong Wuyi rock tea, White Buds Chelan is more elegant, with a unique and charming orchid fragrance, which combines a variety of fragrances and gives people a different enjoyment.

According to the \"Tea Song\" by Jiang Heng of the Qing Dynasty, cinnamon tea was already famous in the Qing Dynasty. It has a very sharp fragrance and a strong sense of stimulation. In the early 1940s, cinnamon was one of the ten varieties planted in Wuyishan tea gardens. Since the 1960s, the planting area has gradually expanded, and in the 1980s, breeding and promotion were intensified. In the 1990s, RouGui was separated from the famous bush and became an independent product name. RouGui tea has grown in popularity since the 21st century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA faint and delicate aroma wafts into your nose, mixed with the scent of cinnamon, fruit and flowers, making you feel relaxed and happy.

Locals call it 三坑两涧和马头 – Three Valleys, Two Streams and \"Horse Head\" Rock. Though not incredibly high, the mountain peaks are always shrouded with fog and mist. The moisture accumulates on the rocky sides of the mountains. It then flows down these rocks to the roots of the tea plants, enriching them with minerals and creating the unique \"rocky rhyme\" taste for which Wuyi Da Hong Pao is famous.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe name Da Hong Pao (or “Big Red Robe” in English) has a few different alleged origin stories. Some fabled stories say its tea bushes were so revered that they were cloaked in red robes by imperial officials, while others simply claim the name was a poetic description for the color of local tea bushes when the warm dusk light is cast through their newly grown leaves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhatever the case, for at least the last century, the characters Wuyi Da Hong Pao have been carved into the rock beside the Da Hong Pao original bushes growing in their little cliff terrace garden in Wuyishan. The few bushes in this tiny garden are the ancestral material for the modern Wuyi Da Hong Pao. Through careful reproduction via cuttings, the most hearty and flavorful of these bushes, known as “Qi Dan,” began to be used as the basis for the blend that is known as commodity Da Hong Pao, starting in 1985. The yield of this bush is low, however, and it is now common for commodity Da Hong Pao to be a blend of Rou Gui and Shui Xian and other Wuyi cultivars. It is judged that a Da Hong Pao blend should be greater than the sum of its parts, exhibiting no single character for any one bush, but rather layers of complex and pleasing flavors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe processing technology of the leaves is very fine and includes sun drying, killing the green, greening, frying, initial kneading, re-frying, re-kneading, baking, sorting, cooling, sorting, and so forth.

Brewing water temperature: It is usually recommended to use a water temperature of 80-90°C, or directly use the intermediate water temperature of 85°C for brewing.

The tea that people here used to produce with Shidaya was Jiancha, a tea that is still available today, and sometimes sold under the Taiping Houkui label. Early last century Mr Wang felt he could make a better tea of the particularly strong tea bushes in his farm so he selected the best of his plucks and gave it some additional handy work during the processing: instead of just rolling the leaves lightly to keep them straight as in Jiancha, he pressed them between meshes with a roller during the low fire baking process to make them really thin and straight. This amazing looking tea was born.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaiping Houkui (Tài Píng Hóu Kuí, \"Great Peace Monkey Chief\") - Everything about this tea is remarkable, from the unique cultivar used to its laborious and intensive processing method, down to its name which means “Great Peace Monkey Chief.” Hailing from Anhui province’s famous Huang Shan (Yellow Mountain), Tài Píng Hóu Kuí is one of China’s most famous green teas, and won global recognition by being awarded a gold medal at the 1915 World’s Fair in Panama. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is Taiping Houkui, produced by a specially designated tea cultivar, Shidaye, a native of what used to be Taiping county, now part of Huangshan city administration. A small shrub in itself, yet with large young leaves that make this particular tea possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe last of the famous Chinese green teas to be picked each spring, this tea has a very short picking window of around 15 days, which starts from 谷雨 (literally “grain rain”) and runs until the start of summer (立夏). Houkui from the core region is severely limited for those who haven’t reserved theirs ahead of time. Within this period, there are often only 1-2 pickings, which only contributes to its scarcity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor starters, Tài Píng Hóu Kuí is the largest-leafed Chinese green tea, grown from a cultivar known as Shì Dà Zhǒng (“Persimmon Big Type”) because its leaves are as big as those of a persimmon (not really, it’s hyperbole). They are processed over more than 24 hours, with picking beginning at dawn and ending once the morning dew has dried. The picking window can be as short as a week or two, depending on the weather, and there is an entire ephemeral village at the top of the mountain that is uninhabited for most of the year that exists just for this brief flurry of activity. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe freshly picked tea is allowed to rest before being fixed through the Shā Qīng (\"Kill the Green\") process and fastidiously hand-straightened and subjected to a gradual drying process involving 6 different treatments of charcoal at varying temperatures. The result is instantly recognizable by its huge, flat leaves, full, sweet taste with no bitterness, and vibrant Qi. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from first-picking, local “Shidaye” cultivar bushes in Houcun, this particular tea combines a sugary sweetness with a nice orchid fragrance in the back of the throat. The texture in the soup is full and refined, with an embedded fragrance that makes this tea very cohesive. Compared to other famous green teas, this Houkui truly stands out as perhaps the most elegant among them, not just in appearance but in the soup as well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePour hot water over these leaves, and something magical happens.

The cool and misty climate as well as mineral rich soil combine to produce flavoursome teas that have a high level of theanine and are rich in tannins and vitamins. Mao Feng translates into English as ‘Fur Peak’, referring to the small white hairs that cover the young dry leaves. So the full name of Huang Shan Mao Feng green tea is normally translated into English as ‘Yellow Mountain Fur Peak’.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Huangshan Maofeng tea has been hand-picked at a young age for beautiful leaves and buds. In addition, this particular tea has been dried in an oven rather than pan fired, resulting in a very clean and soft aroma. As a result of the high temperatures of the drying ovens, some leaves will naturally develop small blisters on the surface.\u003cbr\u003eMaofeng tea leaves are not aggressively kneaded; the kneading step needs to be done very gently, only just enough to twist them into shape without breaking the fragile buds and young leaves of spring growth. The resulting natural leaf shape looks like it was just plucked from the bush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Huangshan Maofeng tea is best brewed at 85°C for 2-3 minutes according to your taste and can be brewed more than 3 times, increasing steeping time with each next brew if desired. This method produces light and mild liquor. It is also possible to brew for longer or use a larger proportion of leaves to water for a stronger flavor. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a tea to be gulped while distracted.

This is the 2026 harvest from the mist-shrouded slopes of Dongting Mountain—a liquid archive of the season's first, most tender light. To open a pouch of this Bi Luo Chun is to release the scent of an entire orchard waking up. The aroma that rises is so impossibly fragrant, so laden with the ghost of apricot and plum blossoms (for the bushes grow intertwined with the fruit trees here), that it feels less like a beverage and more like a memory you didn't know you had.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook closely at the dry leaves.

This melts instantly into a sun-warmed sweetness, reminiscent of wildflower honey.

Upon discovering the tea bush, they started to fill their baskets with fresh tea leaves. With the basket filled up to the brim, one of the girls started putting leaves in her bosom. Once heated up, they started oozing an intense aroma, which at first startled the girl. And so, the tea was named \"frightening people fragrance\", or Xia Sha Ren Xiang. Later, when the emperor toured the area, he sampled the tea and decided it surely deserved a more elegant name. Thus, it was renamed BiLuoChun. BiLuo means \"snail\" and refers to the rolled tea leaves in the form of green spirals. \"Chun\" is for spring, as farmers harvest this tea in early spring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is the 2026 vintage, the freshest Chinese Green Tea Loose Leaf you will experience this year.

The result is a truly exclusive, high-grade tea that will elevate your tea experience to the next level. The traditional handmade technology and skills of the tea master who produced it turn every cup into a memorable tea tasting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen brewed, Meng Ding Huang Ya has a rich, delicate flavor that is both smooth and refreshing.

Lao Cong Shui Xian is made from three to five leaves in Zheng Yan terroir. Lao Cong Shui Xian tea has one of the largest and thickest leaves of all Yan Cha varietals, enabling it to withstand a more thorough roasting. After the teas are sufficiently wilted, they remain on bamboo trays for a few hours before being shaken or tumbled to manage enzyme activity. This step regulates how the water inside the leaves travels outward. The process is repeated every hour, 5-8 times throughout the evening and night until morning. Once the teas are acceptably fermented in the early morning, they are then wok-fried to kill the enzymes in the leaves to stop the fermentation. Fresh out of the wok when the leaves are still hot and soft, they are rolled vigorously to break the surface membranes to bring out more consistent flavors in the tea. The most tedious step in all Chinese tea making is the stem-picking step, which in Yan Cha’s case takes place for several months following the rough tea making. It is a step where undesired yellow leaves (old leaves) and stems are picked out by hand. The “cleaned” tea is then roasted on very dim charcoal ash for 8–12 hours, 1-3 times depending on the varietal, to make it a finished Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOld-growth Shuixian tea bushes in Wuyishan  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven older Laocong Shuixian bushes like this have many branches that split at the bottom of the plant, rather than a trunk that then branches out.

It had tall branches, soft buds, and smelled good. He picked the leaves, made rock tea at Hui Yuan Temple, and invited villagers to taste it. The villagers loved the smell and praised the tea. They asked Ji Hui about the tea's name. He said it didn't have a name yet and told them how he picked the leaves. After hearing his story, they agreed he found the tea tree and knew how to make tea. So, they named the tea \"Iron Arhat.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Tie Luo Han mother bush was found near Nei Gui Cave, high in the mountains. This bush was given the name Iron Monk to represent monks who developed their spiritual practices in this region. Legends tell stories of these special monks who practiced kung fu everyday in order to guard the temple and to chase thieves away. According to Chinese culture, after you exercise, you drink tea. They would pick tea near the cave after practice and make tea from the fresh leaves, which tasted especially wonderful during tea season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tie Luo Han tea bush was mentioned as far back as the Song Dynasty (960-1279) as having excellent flavor and strong branches. The bushes themselves resemble a willow tree with thick shiny leaves with large veins.

The fresh tea leaves are harvested, slightly sun-withered, and partially oxidized before frying, kneading, drying, and roasting. However, a few special traditional techniques at the oxidation and roasting stages truly raise this rock wulong to the next level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuring the oxidation of the withered leaves, most wulongs are put through a ventilated rolling machine that tumbles the leaves to encourage oxidation. This method can produce excellent wulong. However, tea makers went the extra mile to oxidize this tea by the traditional tray-shaking method, where the tea is spread out on dozens of bamboo trays and each one needs to be intermittently shaken by hand over a period of several hours. The leaves also need to be carefully monitored to achieve the desired level of oxidation. This is both a highly labor-intensive task and one that requires a highly developed level of skill to gently toss and bruise the leaves on the trays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey are put through a kneading machine which compresses and kneads the leaves into their long twisted shape. After that, theTie Luo Han tea is dried to stability to make mao cha. The mao cha is already dried completely, but still has sprigs and unopened leaves that need to be sorted about before being roasted again. After the tea season is over they will sort out all the broken pieces and sprigs.

One monsoon season the skies gave way to a deluge, soon flooding the land. These unabating cataclysmic conditions loosened even the crags that these special plants were nestled into high up in the cliffs, sliding them down into the flooding rivers below, still attached to their clumps of loosened cliffrock.  Those who witnessed these plants bobbing up and down as they drifted with the flood's currents remarked that they appeared as golden turtles of the water.\u003cbr\u003eBy the time the flood subsided, these special tea plants had washed all the way down to the lower farmlands, to be discovered and claimed by excited peasants and farmers.  Appalled, the monks of the high cliffs demanded their tea plants back.  Disagreements between the two parties heightened, and eventually had to be settled in the land's courts.  After a fervent legal battle, the courts eventually sided with the peasants and farmers, stating that Golden Water Turtle tea was given to them and all commoners as an act of God.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery year in early or mid-May the fresh spring leaves are plucked. The pluck is typically 2 leaf to 1 bud or 3 leaf to 1 bud. The tea is then withered in the sun for an hour or so, then rolled to break up the leaf's structure, releasing enzymes. Then the fermentation process (also called sweating) is undertaken. The rolled tea is put into baskets and wet cloth is placed on top to boost and maintain the humidity level. The tea sweats for 5 or 6 hours before roasting. The roasting process is done with fire at a temperature of about 70C. The roasting process halts the oxidation process and \"fixes\" the tea into a more stable state. This roasting process is completed within 4 to 6 hours and then the tea is allowed to cool a bit before being roasted a second time with a lower temperature and shorter time interval. When the tea is done it should have a water content of about 7.5-8%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe final step in processing Shui Jin Gui is its slow charcoal roasting in place of the usual oven roasting. This process takes place over a period of several months in the late summer and autumn as an alternation of roasting and resting. The tea will be roasted two to three times to bring out the unique flavor and aroma characteristics of the Shui Jin Gui tea leaves. For each roast, the mao cha is placed in large bamboo drums and set above a smothered charcoal fire. The temperature is controlled with fine ash spread into a thick or thin layer on top of the charcoal fire. The ash layer controls the temperature and ensures there is no a heavy smell from the charcoal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Golden Water Turtle tea is roasted over the charcoal for about 8-12 hours, depending on the weather, and the leaves occasionally need to be mixed by hand. The first roasting temperature is usually higher than subsequent ones, about 100-110°C (212-230°F). After the roast, the leaves are left to rest for 20-30 days, again depending on the weather. This allows the roasted character to slowly permeate to the center of the leaf for an even flavor while also letting moisture in the leaves to evenly redistribute. A rest also lets some of the inevitable smokiness dissipate. After their rest, the leaves are roasted again for another 8 hours or so at a lower temperature around 80-90°C (174-194°F). If the weather is bad, the tea will be roasted for a third time after another rest of about a month. It will take at least three months until the Golden Water Turtle tea is finished, usually finishing up at the end of August.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe origin of the name of the Shui Jin Gui\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Golden Water Turtle is native to the lower half of the cliff of Du Gezhai in Niulan Pit and is owned by Languyan.

It is said that the Shui Jin Gui tea tree is native to the Du Gezhai of Tianxinyan. One day, the rain poured down in torrents, causing the edge of the peak tea garden to collapse, and the tea tree was rushed by water to the half of the rocky recess of the Niulankeng. The owner of Lan Gu Yan used the terrain at that time to excavate the rock and open it up into a step by step stone steps; Use stones to form a fence, fill it with dirt, and then name the tree a Shui Jin Gui.
