GREEN ESSENCE  : A Harmony of Nature’s Essence and Timeless Tea Wisdom

GREEN ESSENCE  is a masterfully crafted green tea that blends centuries-old tea wisdom with artisanal expertise. More than just a beverage, it is a tribute to history, a gift from nature, and a celebration of traditional tea culture.

With every sip, experience the rich aroma, delicate flavors, and deep heritage that transform tea drinking into a journey—from misty mountain forests to your teacup.

Source of Tribute Tea  : Yunwu Mountain, Guiding County, Guizhou Province

GREEN ESSENCE originates from Yunwu Mountain in Guiding County, Guizhou Province, which has occupied a pivotal position in China's tribute tea culture for nearly 500 years. As early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the green tea from Yunwu Mountain had already become a tribute. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was favored by the royal family. At that time, Yunwu Mountain was specially designated as the Royal Tribute Tea Area, and its tea quality and status as a tribute tea were unparalleled. Nowadays, the Palace Museum in Beijing still preserves the records of the tea accounts and physical objects purchased by the Palace Household Office. Additionally, in the village of Bird King in Yunwu Mountain, there stands a stone monument of Tribute Tea, which records the production and history of Tribute Tea. This is unique in China! It can be seen that the tribute tea of Guiding Yunwu Mountain enjoyed the highest honor at that time, similar to Longjing of West Lake, Liu'an of Anhui Province, and Mengding of Sichuan Province.

Yunwu Mountain is located in the Miaoling Mountains of Guizhou, the birthplace of the Qingshui River. Named for its perennial cloudiness, the area enjoys more than 260 days of mountain foggy weather each year, providing a unique growing environment for tea trees. The abundance of aromatic substances and active ingredients make the tea from Yunwu Mountain unique in flavor, layered and full-bodied.

Harvesting Perfection  : The Finest Tea, Picked Before the Rain

In classical Chinese tea tradition, the most flavorful and aromatic teas are harvested just before the seasonal rains. Following this ancient wisdom, GREEN ESSENCE is picked only once a year, during a short window before the Grain Rain (Guyu) period—a time when the tea leaves reach their peak quality.

At this moment, the tea buds have matured to two or three tender leaves, achieving their plumpest form, enriched by spring sunshine and nourished by the mountain mist. This rare timing allows the tea to absorb the purest essence of nature, creating a cup that is smooth, fragrant, and rich in antioxidants.

Let every cup of GREEN ESSENCE deliver centuries of craftsmanship and the ultimate freshness of spring.

 

Crafted Tradition  : The Timeless Art of SongLuo Tea

GREEN ESSENCE  ’s meticulous production process is inspired by the legendary SongLuo tea of the Ming Dynasty—an ancient green tea known for its twisting, vine-like shape and deep, full-bodied flavor. Celebrated for centuries, this tea embodies patience, precision, and tradition.

 

A Masterful Slow-Crafted Process

Honoring the time-honored techniques of Song Luo tea, GREEN ESSENCE follows a unique method of alternating stir-frying and cooling. This slow, deliberate process—guided by tea masters with decades of expertise—ensures that each leaf develops its perfect balance of freshness and depth.

Unlike modern green tea production, which prioritizes speed, GREEN ESSENCE’s green tea undergoes days—even up to a week—of careful refinement, much like the art of fine wine-making. The result? A tea that captures the rich complexity of nature in every sip.

Discover the Unique Charm of GREEN ESSENCE

Unlike modern green teas, GREEN ESSENCE’s dry leaves have a naturally curled shape and a rich green hue, a special gift from nature. The aroma is reminiscent of sweet treats, captivating and alluring.

As the leaves unfurl during brewing, they evoke the image of tea trees swaying gently in the spring breeze, blossoming freely in your teacup. Each cup is infused with the essence of spring.

A Symphony of Aromas 

The fragrance of GREEN ESSENCE is a harmonious blend of fresh, floral, fruity, and sweet notes, offering a rich yet subtle complexity. Drinking GREEN ESSENCE is akin to engaging in a conversation with nature. Each sip of tea has a rich, fresh taste with a long aftertaste, subtly accompanied by a hint of creamy sweetness. This transports you through time, allowing you to appreciate the profound depth of ancient tea traditions.

Unique Charm  : Surprises from Time  

GREEN ESSENCE ’s inspiration and philosophy are rooted in traditional Chinese tea wisdom. Unlike modern green teas, GREEN ESSENCE does not require deliberate low-temperature storage to maintain its quality. Thanks to its unique craftsmanship, it can be stored in a sealed environment at room temperature. As the seasons change, the taste of GREEN ESSENCE evolves gradually, becoming sweeter, smoother, and more refined. Each time you open and brew it, you experience the flavor of the season, discovering new surprises—this is the essence of the "harmony with nature" principle in traditional Chinese tea wisdom.

GREEN ESSENCE : A Journey of Taste through Time

GREEN ESSENCE   is not only a precious green tea but also a journey of taste through time. Originating from Guiding Yunwu Mountain, it has become a rare treasure after hundreds of years of historical precipitation and modern technological innovation. From the picking of tea leaves to the production, every step of the process is perfected.

Drinking GREEN ESSENCE is like dancing with the ancient tribute tea, feeling the gift of nature and the charm of tea art. Let GREEN ESSENCE take you back to the primitive forest where the tea trees grow, so that every sip of tea is filled with the natural aroma and flavor.
