High Caffeine Teas

Tea naturally contains caffeine, but some teas have significantly higher levels due to their leaf type, growing environment and processing style. High caffeine teas offer an energising boost and are often chosen by tea drinkers who prefer a strong, uplifting cup to start their day or maintain focus. This collection highlights teas known for naturally higher caffeine content, particularly those made from robust buds, large-leaf varieties or certain black tea traditions.

  • Wild Yunnan Ancient Tree Black TeaWild Yunnan Ancient Tree Black Tea
    From: $15.99 / 50g

    This wild Yunnan ancient-tree black tea comes from semi-wild old tea gardens at an elevation of around 1600 metres. Most trees are over a century old, belonging to the large-leaf Assamica variety. The environment is natural and pristine, with year-round mist and surrounding forests. The tea trees grow slowly, their deep roots anchored in humus-rich mountain soil, absorbing nutrients from the forest ecosystem.

    The liquor is mellow and sweet, carrying a distinct mountain-wild character—a cool “wild aroma” that sits between woodiness and mountain breeze. It is subtle yet naturally powerful. Its charm lies not in refinement but in balance, purity, and the raw vitality of wild tea. Every sip feels like tasting the breath of the forest.

  • Natural Peachy Flavour Wild Souchong (Xiaozhong)Natural Peachy Flavour Wild Souchong (Xiaozhong)
    From: $22.99 / 50g

    This tea comes from wild century-old group-variety trees growing at 1200–1500 m in the high mountains of Wuyi, Fujian. The cool misty climate and granite-rich soil give it natural minerality and a smooth, full texture. Surrounded by mountain peach trees and forest flowers, the leaves develop a soft, natural peach-floral aroma.

    Following the lineage of Zhengshan Xiaozhong but crafted with finer techniques—gentle withering, slow fermentation and light pine-charcoal baking—this wild version combines high-mountain ecology with meticulous processing. Oolong-style shaking lifts the fragrance, low-temperature fermentation preserves the sweet fruit notes, and charcoal baking refines the finish. The liquor is amber gold, with a gentle lingering peach aroma and a clean, sweet aftertaste.

  • Modern Pine-Smoked Lapsang SouchongModern Pine-Smoked Lapsang Souchong
    From: $22.99 / 50g

    This modern-style Lapsang Souchong comes from the high-mountain ecological gardens of Wuyi Mountain. Made from tender spring one-bud-one-leaf small-leaf cultivars, it offers a clean, refined expression of pine-smoked tea.

    Due to strict protection of Pinus massoniana, large-scale traditional open-fire pine-wood smoking is no longer used in Wuyi. Instead, modern processing relies on naturally fallen pine branches, indirect smoke channels and filtered smoke. This preserves the pine aroma while reducing harshness and environmental impact.

    During low-temperature slow baking, the pine fragrance gently enters the leaves without burning. The smoke is soft like morning mist, blending naturally with the tea’s floral and honey notes to create a lighter, cleaner style of smoke aroma.

These conditions result in tea trees with strong buds and fat leaves covered with rich white fuzz. Even the fifth or sixth leaves on the branch are very delicate and juicy and contain rich polyphenolic compounds and alkaloids.
