China is renowned for its diverse tea traditions, with some of its most distinctive teas shaped by the mountains, climate, and craftsmanship of their regions. From the floral oolongs of Anxi to the rocky mountains of Wuyishan and the misty forests of Tongmu, each region gives its teas a character of its own.
ANXI
Anxi, in southeastern Fujian, is the historic home of Tie Guan Yin and one of China’s most renowned oolong-growing regions. Surrounded by mountains and mist, its warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for producing highly aromatic tea. Tie Guan Yin is known for its elegant floral fragrance, often reminiscent of orchids, with a fresh sweetness and lingering finish. Our Tie Guan Yin collection brings together teas that showcase the distinctive floral character and range of this classic Anxi oolong.
WUYISHAN
Wuyishan, in northern Fujian, is the birthplace of Wuyi Rock Tea, a family of oolongs grown among steep cliffs, valleys, and mist-covered mountains. Rocky terrain, mineral-rich soils, and a humid mountain climate give these teas their distinctive depth and character. Traditional roasting adds layers of fragrance, body, and a long, lingering finish, with cultivars such as Rou Gui and Shui Xian offering their own expressions of the Wuyi terroir. From classic roasted oolongs to more aromatic expressions, our Wuyi Rock Tea collection explores the diverse character of tea from the Wuyi Mountains.
TONGMU
Tongmu, deep in the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian, is the historic home of Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, one of China’s most distinctive black teas. High-elevation forests, cool temperatures, and abundant mist create a unique environment for tea cultivation. Traditional Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong is known for its rich body, warm sweetness, and characteristic smoky, pine-like aroma, while Jin Jun Mei offers a more delicate and floral expression. Our Chinese Black Tea collection features teas from across China, including the distinctive black teas that originated in the Wuyi Mountains.
