Wuzi Xian Hao is produced in the valley of Qinling Mountains in Xixiang County, Hanzhong City, Shanxi province. Qinling Mountains are well-known as the hometown of the tea where the ecological environment is very superior. The annual average temperature is 14.7℃ and with a rainfall amount of 1000mm to 1500mm. The altitude is from 600 meters to 1200 meters, and the soil is slightly acidic with a very high percentage of organic substances. Also, since the tea plantation locates in the north-south area of China where the north and south climates are combined, tea trees there are growing extraordinary lush because of the freshest air and the most fertile soil, which help Wuzi Xian Hao grow up with plenty of useful elements that are good for your body such as zinc, selenium and so on.

Our Wuzi Xian Hao is ‘Mingqian’ tea. Mingqian tea refers to the tea plucked before The Pure Brightness (April 4th, 5th, or 6th). Tea workers only pick the tea tree buds that just emerged in spring. The tea picked during this period is the tenderest with a touch of scent. Since the slow growth, the Mingqian tea is made of nearly 100% of the most tender buds. Due to the low temperature before The Pure Brightness, the number of tea buds is very limited, and the growth rate is quite low, hence the yield of tea under the strict picking standard is very small. As a result, there is a saying that goes ‘Mingqian teas are as expensive as gold’.

Taiping Houkui was one of the teas given as a present to Russian President Vladimir Putin by Chinese President Hu Jintao in 2007. It is also a first-class green tea, made of a bud with two leaves standard. The leaves are long, fleshy, robust, flat and straight.
This premium grade Taiping Houkui tea belongs to traditional group species, its cultivar is Shi Da Cha. It comes from Monkey Village (Hou-pit), Huangshan Area, Anhui province. It is made in a traditional way: each leaf is hand-selected and adjusted. The tea is produced without the use of any chemical protection products for plants.
Anji White Tea is produced in Anji County, Hu Zhou City in Zhejiang Province. It does not actually belong to Chinese white tea, instead, it is a kind of Chinese green tea. That’s because Chinese tea is classified by its processing method, and Anji White tea is produced using the same processing method as green tea. People call it as white tea is because Anji White Tea is a special species and in early spring, when the temperature is extremely low, the sprouting tea buds of Anji White tea are jade white. The colour of the tea buds will turn into green just like the normal tea leaves after a month.
Our Anji White Tea is picked before Pure Brightness (Apr.4th, 5th, or 6th), as a result, belonging to ‘Mingqian tea’. The taste of this tea is extraordinarily fresh and tender just like tasting the early spring. It also has very attractive orchids aroma with long-lasting sweet aftertaste without any bitterness.
Low stockXihu Longjing (West Lake Dragon Well Green Tea) is a very famous Chinese green tea, well known among Chinese tea lovers. Longjing is famous for its natural verdant color, beautiful leaf shape, rich fragrance and mellow taste.
The West Lake Longjing producing area can be divided into two parts: first-grade producing zone and second-grade producing zone where should not outside the 168 square kilometers of the west lake protection zone designated by the people’s government of Hangzhou. Our top-class Longjing is produced in one of these areas – ‘Meijiawu’ Village which belongs to the first-grade producing zone.
Because there is a limited area around West Lake for these real Longjing to be cultivated and the whole production process is all handmade; therefore, the yield of it is extremely low and the price of it is extraordinarily high. Especially, our West Lake Longjing is picked before Qingming （the fifth Chinese solar term, 4, 5 or 6 April), that’s why our Longjing is also called as ‘Mingqian’ Longjing green tea. It is the most tender and freshest one with rare yield compared with other Longjing tea. As a result, the price of this typical ‘Mingqian’ West Lake Longjing is almost four times higher than the Longjing comes from other origins picked on or after Qingming.
Our premium West Lake Longjing belongs to No.43 species. This species is an excellent variety improved by tea research institutes of Chinese Academy of Sciences based on the Group Species. It belongs to asexual reproduction, shrub type, early growth species. The whole tea plant is short, the leaves is slender, the fertility of it is strong. Longjing No.43 retains the fine quality of the Group Species, meanwhile without its bitterness and astringency, tastes very fresh and elegant.
Samples LeftQue She is named for its small and delicate shape which looks like the tongue of a sparrow tongue, originating from the Yibin City, Sichuan province.
Not all fresh tea leaves can be used as the raw material of making Que She, only the freshest tea leaves of the small-leaf tea species can do. Actually, any tea that has the shape of a sparrow’s tongue can be considered as Que She, no matter it is from the Zhe Jiang, Jiang Su, or Anhui province.
Our Yibin Que She is no doubt of very high quality and owns a very good reputation among green tea lovers. The history of it being paid tribute to the imperial palace can be traced back to the Tang dynasty. Que She is considered as one of the rarest Chinese green teas due to its unique flavour and its relatively higher prices when compared to other green teas in the Chinese tea market. The polyphenolic compounds and the content of amino acids inside Que She tea leaves are about 10% higher than other teas.
