Treat yourself with a cup of Bi Luo Chun from Bi Luo Peak

If you are a Bi Luo Chun lover, you know that real Bi Luo Chun is from Dong Ting, Jiang Su. If you are a devoted Bi Luo Chun lover, you perhaps are obsess with the never ending search of Dong Shan (East Mountain) Bi Luo Chun. Located at peak of Dong Shan, Bi Luo Peak is the origin of Bi Luo Chun tea, and still grows the best Bi Luo Chun today.

Although not everybody can travel to Bi Luo Peak, you sure can enjoy a cup of premium Bi Luo Chun we brought to you from East Mountain wherever you are, and put your imagination to work looking at this picture from Bi Luo Peak.

We offers two Bi Luo Chun from Dong Shan this year. The pre-Ming Bi Luo Chun is absolutely a gem. Those tightly twisted young, gentle tea buds are a joy to watch. According to our producer, we are the only one that offer this grade of Bi Luo Chun to oversea market. We decided to carry the pre-Yu Bi Luo Chun after tasting it. It was harvested right after Qing Ming, and has a quality that matches last year's pre-Ming production. It is a great tea to enjoy everyday without pinching your wallet.

2008 Pre-Ming West Lake Long Jing expected to arrive next week

After some long wait, our 2008 Pre-Ming West Lake Long Jing finally is arriving. As expected, quality of this year's production is better. After some careful tasting, we picked the premium batch harvested in the early harvest period of March 27 to 30, 2008. This years' cold weather delayed West Lake Long Jing harvest by more than 10 days, which in turn shorted the harvest period of this year's pre-Ming Long Jing, which ended on April 5.

We are very pleased with this batch. All tender leaves from first flush, very refreshing, purified taste. Another great West Lake Long Jing from renowned Tea Research Institute of Zhangzhou!

It is available for pre-order at our online store now.

A Designer Tea House

I recently showed a visiting friend our Dian Chi Road branch. She was very impressed by the interior design there. Sitting at the upscale Dian Chi neighborhood, this branch serves many affluential customers. Lots of efforts have been put into design and construction of this tea house. Many display items were specially made for this branch. From red lotus lamps to golden Buddha lamps, I personally designed every single one of them.

The roomy main tea room has a large tea table that can sit 12 guests at the same time. Various sized group tea rooms are available for guests who prefer more private settings.

After showing my friend around the tea house, we sat down in a group tea room and sipped 2006 Golden Da Mo… Time flied by and we sure had a great time that night!

I finally got a chance to sort through pictures from Yunnan Classic Pu-erh Appreciation Event. This event was held by Government of Si Mao City and Pu-erh Magazine. 48 antique Pu-erh were displayed during the event. It is really an eye-opening event for Pu-erh lovers.

Each Pu-erh was endorsed by experts after passing the judgments and then notarized.

2001 Young Green Ancient Tea Tree Small Pu-erh Brick

I did not pay too much attention to its taste when I started to drink the 2001 Young Green Ancient Tea Tree Small Pu-erh Brick last week. I wanted to get my flat tummy back and turned to this ancient tea tree Pu-erh to rescue. I noticed the “flatting” effect of our ancient tea tree Pu-erh on my tummy several years ago. It did not take long for me to experience the improvement again this time.

I was gulping down at least 1L of this tea everyday without paying too much attention to its nice taste lingering in my mouth. It has been aged for 5 years, and many of its bitterness have given its way to mellowness. Therefore, drinking 1L of this tea everyday has been quite an enjoyment.

Yesterday, without the sense of weight loss urgency, I was in a mood to enjoy and appreciate this Pu-erh. I first carefully peeled off some whole leaves off the brick – the brick has loosened up after aging. The dry leaves have light pleasant floral smell. After quickly washing the leaves, I smelled the wet leaves – fresh, floral, with a hint of plum, nice! I took a small sip of the tea - smooth, although still had traces of bitterness, it is not harsh at all. I happily sipped down the tea. A sweet aftertaste raised in my mouth along with a long lingering aroma of plum. I enjoyed this Pu-erh for hours yesterday. What an experience!
