The Collection

Chinese Red Teas

Four distinctive teas from China's most renowned tea-growing regions, plus our curated Discovery Box. Every tea is hand-selected, traditionally processed, and sourced directly from multi-generational farming families.

Yunnan

Dian Hong

滇红 · Yunnan Red

Fengqing, Lincang, Yunnan Province

Grown from ancient tea trees at high altitude, Dian Hong delivers a bold, malty character with notes of sweet potato and dark honey. Its rich golden liquor makes it a natural choice for mornings — and takes milk beautifully.

The Story Behind This Tea

In 1939, during the wartime, Dian Hong was first crafted as Chinese tea merchants braved the ancient Tea Horse Road — crossing treacherous mountain passes from Yunnan through Myanmar to reach international markets. Every cup carries the unyielding spirit of those tea makers from 80 years ago.

🎁 Paired Embroidery Tea Horse Road — “Tea Horse Road” series, depicting the ancient horse caravans traversing snow-capped Yunnan mountains, carrying tea across borders. “Resilience flows like tea — from mountain to cup”

Anhui

Keemun

祁门红茶 · Qimen

Qimen County, Anhui Province

One of the world's most celebrated red teas, long favored by British tea houses. The signature "Keemun fragrance" is a unique orchid-like aroma with hints of stone fruit and subtle cocoa — smooth, refined, and endlessly drinkable.

The Story Behind This Tea

Keemun is the birthplace of ancient Huizhou culture — where “qin, qi, shu, hua, shi, jiu, cha” (the Seven Refinements of life: music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, and tea) were born. Since 1875, Keemun red tea has been the confidant of scholars and literati, a companion at the writing desk.

🎁 Paired Embroidery Scholar’s Plum Blossom — “Scholar’s Studio” series, where plum blossoms symbolize resilience and calligraphy represents the unbroken thread of Chinese literary tradition. “Where ink meets aroma, wisdom blooms”

Fujian

Unsmoked Lapsang

正山小种 · Lapsang Souchong

Tongmu Village, Wuyi Mountains, Fujian

The world's original red tea — in its modern, unsmoked form. Without the traditional pine smoke, the leaf's natural character shines through: smooth and naturally sweet, with notes of longan, dried fruit, and a soft cocoa finish.

The Story Behind This Tea

Born in Tongmu Village at the heart of the Wuyi Mountains, Unsmoked Lapsang Souchong is the ancestor of all red tea — with over 400 years of history. Along the Nine-Bend River, tea trees grow in the crevices of Danxia rock formations, each leaf absorbing the spiritual energy of mountain and water.

🎁 Paired Embroidery Wuyi Mist — “Wuyi Mist” series, depicting bamboo rafts drifting along the Nine-Bend River through Wuyi’s ethereal Danxia landscape. “400 years of mountain whispers in every sip”

Fujian

Jin Jun Mei

金骏眉 · Golden Eyebrow

Tongmu Village, Wuyi Mountains, Fujian

The pinnacle of Chinese red tea, crafted exclusively from tender golden tips hand-picked at dawn. Honey-sweet with floral undertones and a silken, layered body. Produced in small quantities — a genuinely rare cup.

The Story Behind This Tea

Jin Jun Mei requires 50,000–60,000 hand-picked tender buds to produce just 500g of finished tea — a luxury once reserved for emperors alone. Every cup is an indulgence of time itself, representing the absolute pinnacle of Chinese tea craftsmanship.

🎁 Paired Embroidery Imperial Dragon — “Imperial Dragon” series, a five-clawed golden dragon playing with a pearl among clouds — the supreme symbol of imperial power and authority. “60,000 buds. One cup. Zero compromise.”
