Description:
Dinggu Dafang, summit-valley of Dafang is named after the monk Dafang who is said to have invented this tea during the Song dynasty. It is one of the only flat-form teas (Bianxingcha) that are not of the Long Jing type - historically, it precedes the Long Jing. This Dinggu Dafang has been shaped manually in the wok and then dried and is hence also called Tie Se Da Fang - iron colour-Dafang. As other green teas from the Huangshan region this tea is made from large leafed teas plants (Dayezhong).
Character:
Broad, full and aromatic green tea.

Description:
This is a very particular Xihu Longjing. In a garden in Jiuxi, just below the village Yangmeiling in a wooden valley, at slightly lower altitudes than usual for us, the tea producer planted tea bushes from the 19th century that he received. We find there a very high biodiversity and old tea trees, but in a lower, less sought-after site. We named the tea Laocong Longjing. This was the same artisan that produced the Long Jing in the manner of 1950 in 2016.

Description:
A genuine Longjing Shifeng tea of the highest of qualities, coming from the very best of sites. We buy this tea directly from the tea farmer in the village of Longjing.

The step of firing (roasting) the leaves in a wok is done by machine, forming and drying in the wok is however done by hand in the traditional way: the leaves are not pressed too flatly, thus allowing for a full aroma, but as a result the tea does not look as regular and beautiful.

Description:
A Long Jing 43 Hao of very high quality near Xinchang in Zhejiang province. It is thus not from the original site of the Longjing. Original Longjing 43 from the Westlake (Xihu) are often rather too expensive. The new varietal Nr. 43 is mostly used to get an earlier harvest at the seasons start. The taste of the tea is more condensed, livelier than Longjing from traditional plants. The Nr. 43 plant highlights the idiosyncrasies of the Longjing in a beautiful fashion.

The producer, who is known in his town as a tea freak, crazy for tea, owns vast tea gardens in the hills around Xinchang and produces a diversity of teas from diverse varietals in good quality.
Character:
This tea combines a nutty sweetness with a fresh citric note, and roasted chestnuts with a delicately smelling blossom. A tea to be discovered over and over again.

Description:
Baiya Longjing or Baicha Longjing has also been produced from a white-leafed tea plant; but it comes from Xinchang, and not Anxi. It is produced with leaves of the tea plant with the whitish leaves. Exceptional delicacy displaying aromas between An Ji Bai Cha and Long Jing Shi Feng. A beautiful example for the influence of the form on the taste.

The producer, who is known in his town as a tea freak, as he is crazy for tea, owns vast tea gardens in the hills around Xinchang and produces a diversity of teas from diverse varietals in good quality.

The tea is called Bai Cha, white tea, because the leaves are of a pale green, almost white, when they are plucked, as this tea plant has very little chlorophyll. However, it is produced in the manner of green tea. These tea plants with the whitish leaves had already been described during the Song-dynasty (960-1279), and were ever since thought to be a myth. At the end of the 20th century, however, a wild tea tree of this kind was (re-?)discovered. Teas from this tea varietal are very smooth and incredibly sweet in aroma. Because of the high degree of a certain amino acid in the tea plant these teas have a pronounced umami-taste.
Character:
An intensely full pouring, lightly nutty and tenderly sweet. A smooth, welcoming tea that captivates through its unobtrusive intensity.

Description:
A genuine and original Taiping Houkui from Hougang, produced using the traditional method. a tea of top quality from a small tea garden. A (successful) attempt to recreate the Tea from the World Exhibition of 1915. Hence the name Chuan Tong meaning classic. The leave form is flat but neither stretched nor pressed. Very carefully and consciously crafted from old tea-bushes of different types of the Shidacha. The leaves are smaller and less heavily pressed, one can recognise the leaves and the buds more distinctly. The taste is very different to the modern version of this tea.

Tai Ping Hou Kui, Ape King from the Taiping Lake, is a very beautifully crafted flat form tea (Bianxingcha) with very large leaves that were hammered into shape. They are considered to be one of the classic Chinese green teas, although the first mention of them appears only after 1900, when the improved techniques made more beautiful and better qualities possible. The very long leaves of the Shidacha variety are fired in the wok and carefully pressed by hand and hammered. Nowadays, they are also produced by machine, resulting in very flat and long, light green leaves.
Character:
A subtle beauty: it reminds of elderflowers, it's soft, citric and fresh, mineral and quite incredible.

Greater quantities starting from 50g can be ordered upon request.
