From: $11.99 / 50gOur 2015 Emperor’s Royal Pu-erh is produced by the famous Yunnan Menghai tea factory. It is made of the most delicate leaf tips from wild big-leaf tea trees. In the old days, common people were allowed to pick leaves from these trees only after the royal household had already picked theirs, meaning that the best part of the tea tree of this Pu-erh was only available to the royal family, as a symbol of wealth and power. The reason it was so popular among the royal family was that it has outstanding health benefits, including relieving the uncomfortableness after eating a greasy meal or loosening the bowels to relieve constipation. Considering that the royal family had luxurious food every day including massive amount of meat delicacies, it is not surprising that the tea became popular!

From: $25.99 / 50gThis tea comes from the high-elevation gardens of Zhenghe, Fujian (about 1200 m), using the Qingxin Oolong cultivar. The cool, misty climate allows the leaves to accumulate amino acids—ideal for low-oxygen fermentation.
After light withering, the leaves enter a sealed chamber where nitrogen creates a low-oxygen environment. In this process, natural glutamic acid converts into γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a compound associated with calm and balance. Combined with tea’s natural theanine, the infusion becomes smoother, sweeter and more relaxing.
The tea is finished with long, gentle low-temperature roasting, giving a clean floral-honey aroma and a soft, sweet, refreshing liquor.

From: $24.99 / 50gFrom a certain point of view, dried tangerine and Pu-Erh tea are made for each other. From the Ming dynasty, dried tangerine started to be treated as a very special tea because of its unique medical value and natural fruity aroma. Pu-Erh was brewed together with dried tangerine by coincidence in the Qing Dynasty. Since then, this combination has become popular throughout the country.
During the production of the tea, the green tangerine was dried which helps to retain its ball shape in order to wrap the Pu-Erh tea leaves inside. The green tangerine of our orange-peel style Pu-Erh tea comes from Xin Hui in Guangdong province which is the hometown of dried tangerine and famous for its best mandarin garden. The technology of making tangerine is regarded as one of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage.
This particular Tangerine Ripe Pu-erh is made by the well-known Fuhai Tea Factory. The tea leaves wrapped inside are 2011-year Emperor’s Royal ripe Pu-erh tea leaves originating from Meng Hai County in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan province.

From: $26.99 / 50gThe tea comes from the mid-to-high-altitude slopes of the Lishan region in Taiwan, grown in the outer high-mountain zone where the cool, misty climate slows leaf growth and enhances natural floral sweetness.
Produced with traditional oolong methods using light fermentation and light roasting, it maintains a clean, pure character. Skilled producers control oxidation and heat precisely, resulting in a bright, clear liquor with the balanced profile typical of Lishan-style high-mountain tea.
Smooth, fresh, and easy to drink, this tea is well suited for everyday enjoyment, whether brewed hot or cold.

From: $16.99 / 50gThis special Floral Fragrant Tieguanyin belongs to our fragrant Tieguanyin. This floral-scented Tieguanyin has a more pronounced orchid fragrance compared to the fragrance type, with the floral notes being more distinct and vibrant.
It uses the Xiaoqing fermentation method, i.e. fixation takes place on the afternoon of the day after shaking. Shaking time is less than with the Zhengwei method, meaning relatively little stem water spreads into the leaves; fermentation is also relatively light.
Tieguanyin Oolong Tea was first produced in 1725–1735 by a local tea farmer in Anxi County, Fujian province. It has a high content of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, polyphenols and alkaloids. It also contains various nutrients and medicinal substances. Its unique mellow aroma makes it a favorite of many.

$999.99This Jingdezhen doucai gaiwan and saucer set, painted with flowers and butterflies, is crafted upon a smooth, white porcelain body and finished with the exquisite doucai technique. The blossoms are rendered in the “broken branch” style—some in delicate bud, others in full bloom swaying in the breeze—outlined with fluid, graceful lines and imbued with lively spirit. Butterflies flutter among them, hovering lightly as if pausing to sip the fragrance of the flowers. In its palette, cobalt-blue underglaze outlines are paired with brilliant overglaze enamels of red, green, yellow, and blue, producing a harmony that is at once fresh and refined, yet also radiant and sumptuous. The composition balances density and openness, presence and void, creating a poetic scene of natural grace.
The form itself embodies dignity and elegance. The gaiwan’s rim gently flares outward, its body rounded and full, its footring solid and steady. The saucer complements it perfectly, encircled with the same floral and butterfly motifs, echoing and completing the design. Together, lid, bowl, and saucer form a harmonious unity, both functional and aesthetically balanced, lending a refined atmosphere to the tea table.
The beauty of doucai lies in its union of the cool clarity of underglaze blue with the luminous brilliance of overglaze enamels. This set exemplifies that union: flowing color amidst elegant purity, grace mingled with vibrancy. The imagery carries more than decorative charm—flowers symbolize prosperity and flourishing life, while butterflies embody joy, harmony, and auspicious union. Together, they express a wish for completeness in life, happiness in companionship, and peace across the seasons.
Whether used in daily tea practice or displayed as an object of appreciation, this doucai gaiwan and saucer set embodies both refined artistry and profound cultural meaning, merging the timeless elegance of porcelain with the poetry of nature.

$199.99This Gaiwan was crafted using techniques from China’s Cultural Revolution period, primarily handmade. Its firing process followed the craftsmanship and clay formulas of the 1970s, which cannot be compared to modern porcelain production in terms of material and refinement. The body, glaze, and overall workmanship appear somewhat rough, yet they reflect the unique historical imprint and handmade character of that era.
The decoration depicts a traditional story scene, painted in famille rose technique to illustrate figures in interaction. The garments are rendered in tones of orange, pink, green, and purple, with fine flowing lines and clear layering of colors, echoing the artistic style of Qing dynasty famille rose porcelain.
The imagery portrays the three auspicious deities of Fu, Lu, and Shou, each carrying profound symbolic meaning:
- Fu: symbolizing happiness, family harmony, and prosperity in descendants.
- Lu: representing official rank, status, and wealth.
- Shou: embodying longevity and health.
Together they express people’s collective wishes for a good life and enduring blessings. Such motifs were common in traditional porcelain decoration, often used in birthday celebrations, gifts, and festive occasions, carrying rich cultural significance.
Although the craftsmanship of this Cultural Revolution period famille rose gaiwan is relatively simple, the auspicious meaning conveyed by its imagery remains vivid. It is not only a functional tea vessel but also a piece of old porcelain that embodies both historical memory and traditional culture.

$39.99This blue and coloured reticulated gaiwan features a proper yet slightly rough form, typical of early or folk kiln wares. The body is relatively thick, with uneven glaze lustre and somewhat freehand cobalt lines, giving it an authentic handmade texture. The vessel is crafted using the traditional reticulated carving technique, with tiny translucent holes visible when held to light. Under the glaze, blue decoration is applied, while red and green overglaze enamels add a lively contrast. Though the colouring lacks delicacy, it carries a rustic charm. The lid, bowl, and saucer form a complete three-piece set, simple and steady in proportion, reflecting the aesthetics of old-style Jingdezhen porcelain.
Reticulated porcelain, also known as ‘transparent porcelain,’ first appeared during the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty and reached its peak during the Kangxi and Qianlong reigns of the Qing dynasty. Its distinctive technique involves carving fine holes into the clay body before glazing and high-temperature firing, allowing glaze to fill the openings and form translucent ‘windows.’ When illuminated, these patterns emit a soft glow. Due to the complexity of the process and its low success rate, reticulated porcelain has long been regarded as one of Jingdezhen’s unique crafts. By the late Qing and Republic periods, blue-and-coloured reticulated gaiwans became common household items—less refined in craftsmanship but closer to everyday life.
This particular gaiwan belongs to that period of practical ware. Though not luxurious, it embodies the warmth of hand-fired ceramics and the quiet charm of daily use.

$109.99This ice-jade porcelain San Cai gaiwan is crafted in Dehua, Fujian. The region’s unique kaolin deposits give the porcelain its fine, smooth, and gently lustrous texture, creating a jade-like translucency when light passes through. The body appears milky and softly glowing, and when the gaiwan is turned, a subtle inner light moves within the porcelain—quiet and elegant.
The bowl, lid, and saucer are well-balanced in proportion, with smooth, rounded lines that feel natural in the hand. The small lid knob is easy to grip, and the slightly flared rim pours with excellent control, producing a clean, steady stream without dripping or splashing.
The most captivating moment comes when dark tea liquor is poured in—the colour gently lights up through the jade-like porcelain, glowing like a warm sunset. This natural shift of light and colour makes every pour visually delightful and quietly enchanting.

$13.99This ice-jade porcelain tasting cup is crafted in Dehua, Fujian. The region’s unique kaolin deposits give the porcelain its ice-jade translucency, with a milky, gently glowing body that feels smooth and warm in the hand. When the cup is turned, a soft inner light moves quietly within the porcelain walls, creating a naturally elegant play of light and shadow.
The cup is small, rounded, and well-balanced, light to hold and comfortable to grip. The slightly flared rim offers a pleasant mouthfeel, making each sip smooth and natural.
Its most captivating detail appears when tea is poured in—whether pale yellow or deep amber, the colour gently glows through the jade-like porcelain, floating like a soft halo within the cup. This subtle translucency adds a quiet beauty to every tasting moment.
Simple, warm, and beautifully made, this is a delightful little cup suitable for enjoying any type of tea in daily use.

$47.99This ice-jade porcelain fair cup is crafted in Dehua, Fujian. The region’s unique kaolin deposits give the porcelain its ice-jade smoothness and gentle translucency, with a milky, soft glow that appears under light. When the cup is turned, a subtle inner radiance moves quietly through the porcelain walls, creating a naturally elegant play of light and shadow.
The fair cup features clean, comfortable lines, with well-balanced proportions and a steady grip. The slightly flared rim and smooth spout allow tea to pour in a clear, steady stream—no dripping, no splashing, just a stable and reliable flow.
The moment tea is poured in is equally captivating. Whether pale yellow, golden, or deep amber, the colour gently glows through the jade-like porcelain, rising like a soft halo within the cup. The interplay of tea and light adds a beautiful visual quality to every serving.
Warm, practical, and quietly refined, this ice-jade porcelain fair cup pairs beautifully with both gaiwans and tasting cups.

$11.99This is an old-style blue and reticulated teacup, with a dense and fine body and a soft, mellow glaze that reflects the traditional characteristics of Jingdezhen folk kilns. The form is small and upright, well-proportioned, with smooth natural lines typical of early gongfu tea cups. The exterior is decorated with entwined floral motifs in underglaze blue, complemented by touches of overglaze red, creating a modest yet charmingly rustic visual harmony.
The entire cup is crafted using the traditional reticulated (linglong) technique, with fine translucent holes visible when held to light. The glaze seeps into these openings during firing, forming semi-transparent ‘windows.’ Under illumination, the patterns faintly shimmer through the porcelain, revealing a soft and gentle translucence. The base is marked ‘Made in China,” indicating that it was produced in the mid-20th century in Jingdezhen as an old-style folk kiln piece. Compared with official kiln wares, this cup shows a rougher finish—blue lines appear slightly blurred and the glaze varies in thickness—but these imperfections enhance its authenticity and capture the warmth of traditional handcraftsmanship.
Reticulated porcelain, also known as ‘transparent porcelain’, originated during the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty and reached its peak in the Kangxi and Qianlong reigns of the Qing dynasty. The process is highly intricate, involving the carving of tiny holes in the clay body before glazing and high-temperature firing, allowing the glaze to fill the openings and produce a luminous, translucent effect. By the late Qing and Republic periods, blue and reticulated tea wares had become common household items, valued for their practicality and for embodying the daily charm of traditional Chinese tea culture.

$149.99This teacup was crafted using techniques from the Cultural Revolution period in China, primarily handmade. Its firing process followed the methods and porcelain clay formulas of the 1970s, which are quite different from modern porcelain production. As a result, the body, glaze, and overall craftsmanship appear somewhat rough, yet precisely because of this, it bears the unique historical imprint and handmade character of that era.
The decoration is rendered with famille rose techniques, depicting the traditional story of ‘Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea,’ encircling the cup. Each of the eight immortals is shown with their distinctive attributes: Tieguai Li with his iron crutch, Lü Dongbin with his sword, Han Xiangzi with his flute, He Xiangu with her lotus, Lan Caihe with a flower basket, Zhang Guolao with his fish-drum, Cao Guojiu with his jade tablet, and Zhongli Quan with his gourd. The figures are vivid and expressive, either seated in contemplation or caught in lively gestures, delicately and vividly portrayed.
As a traditional auspicious theme, “Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea” symbolizes each displaying their unique powers to overcome difficulties, carrying the meaning of dispelling misfortune and ensuring blessings. It also embodies wishes for prosperity, longevity, and peace. The famille rose palette is soft and elegant, with clothing in tones of orange, purple, blue, and pink, characterized by fine, flowing lines that reflect the artistic style of Qing dynasty famille rose porcelain.
This famille rose Eight Immortals teacup is not only a practical vessel for daily tea gatherings but also a cultural artifact that carries both the imprint of its historical period and auspicious meaning. Within its roughness lies the authenticity of handmade work, and within its simplicity shines a spark of artistry.
