Chinese tea origins
Different places. Distinct cups.
From West Lake to Yiwu
This set brings together teas from Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Yunnan. West Lake gives us Longjing; Fuding, Zhangping, and the Wuyi Mountains offer very different Fujian styles. Phoenix Mountains Dancong adds a floral oolong, while Lincang and Yiwu introduce Yunnan’s black tea and Pu-erh.
Taste the differences for yourself
Compare a fresh, savory green tea with a delicate white, then explore floral oolongs, fruit-forward black teas, and the contrasting character of raw and ripe Pu-erh. You don’t need to know the names before you begin—let the cup show you what you enjoy.

Ripe fruit, a little honey warmth. This is very much my kind of morning tea. No milk needed.

A few good questions
Before your first cup
Which teas will I receive?
The nine teas shown above form a fixed set: West Lake Longjing, Silver Needle, Zhangping Shui Xian, Honey Orchid Dancong, Auspicious Aroma Wuyi Rock Tea, Feizi Xiao, Wild Forest Sun-Dried Black Tea, Yiwu Raw Pu-erh, and Yiwu Ripe Pu-erh.
Is each pouch a tea bag?
Each pouch holds a portion of loose-leaf tea, or one small pressed cake for Zhangping Shui Xian. Open the wrapping and add the tea itself to your gaiwan or small teapot.
Which tea should I try first?
Start with Longjing for a fresh, savory cup or Silver Needle for something delicate. Try Honey Orchid Dancong for floral fruitiness, Feizi Xiao for fragrant sweetness, or Yiwu Ripe Pu-erh for a richer, mellower cup. There’s no required order.
Do these teas contain caffeine?
Yes. All nine teas naturally contain caffeine. The amount in your cup depends on the tea, the portion, and how you brew it. This set is not a caffeine-free option.
How should I store the unopened teas?
Keep the pouches sealed in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, moisture, and strong odors. Open each portion when you’re ready to brew.
