Finding a moment of peace in a cup of tea. 🍵

We are thrilled to introduce our latest collection from He Ge, a curated selection of Jingdezhen porcelain now available in North America. These pieces bridge the gap between ancient oriental aesthetics and your daily rituals.

Hand-thrown and hand-painted, these tea sets feature a stunning cream-toned vintage glaze—warm, tactile, and timeless. Chosen by our founder after visiting hundreds of kilns, these were selected for one reason: they are as functional as they are beautiful.

Whether you are a tea enthusiast or just starting your journey, these pieces are designed to bring grace to every steep.

✨ The Collection:
·The Starter Set: Lotus pattern gaiwan & cup (comes with a travel bag).
·The Midnight Pine Gaiwan: Deep, textured, and incredibly sophisticated.
·Ancient Pine Cups: Perfectly balanced and comfortable in the hand.
·Pine Pattern Tea Tray: The ultimate versatile centerpiece for any tea session.

Some scents have a way of lingering in your memory, and right now, it’s the smell of gardenias in the spring breeze. 🌬️🌸

Imagine a tea that captures that exact moment—the sweetness of the air, the gentle warmth of the sun, and the quiet clarity of the morning. Our Gardenia Green Tea is more than just a drink; it’s a bottled spring.

Grown at 800m altitude and scented three times with fresh wild gardenias, the floral soul is truly woven into the tea leaves, not just brushing the surface. It starts with the crisp, vibrant notes of premium green tea, followed by a hint of toasted chestnut, and finishes with a lingering, silky floral sweetness that feels like a soft hug for your senses. 🍵✨

Savoring Tea, Simply

Spring in a cup: The return of Osmanthus Oolong. ☁️🌼

There’s a reason our Osmanthus Oolong is a perpetual bestseller. It takes a full year to prepare, and only a moment to fall in love with.

* 1st Steep: Light, elegant, a whisper of spring.
* 2nd Steep: Sweet, honeyed floral notes take over the palate.
* 3rd Steep: The bold ”Oolong Rhyme“ emerges—full-bodied and grounding.

It’s more than a drink; it’s a way to breathe, relax, and find your center.

Note: This batch is the last for the year. Once the stock clears, we wait for the next flowering season. Secure your tin today. 🍵📦

🍵To capture the soul and scent of Taiwan Oolong.

🍃For Taiwanese Oolong, improper storage is the ultimate thief of soul and scent. To honor the craftsmanship of the leaf, we have upgraded our standards:

💭Vacuum-Sealed for Peak Vitality: Higher cost for us, the same price for you.
Choose Your Perfect Fit:
·20g Taster Pack: Vacuum-sealed inner protection with a resealable outer pouch.
·60g Value Pack (5g x 12): Twelve individual sachets for freshness on the go.

⛰️From the mist-covered peaks to your cup, the journey is long—but the spirit remains untamed. When this tea reaches your hands, it carries the same pristine aroma it had when it left the farmer’s palm. To spark that moment of pure, heart-fluttering joy in you is the very purpose of our craft.

Savoring tea simply.

Steeping a moment of pure bliss. ✨

ICYMI: We’re launching Yancha, or Rock Tea! ⛰️🍵

Growing up in Fujian, China, the birthplace of Yancha, I have a deep and emotional connection to this type of tea.

We’ve spent a long time searching, tasting, and selecting just the right Yancha with an unmistakable “yan yun” or “rock rhyme,” the benchmark of exceptional Yancha.

Our Yancha will officially launch this quarter, thus completing our collection of all 4 major oolong styles:

⛰️ Northern Fujian ➡️ Yancha / Rock Tea
🌸 Southern Fujian ➡️ Tie Guan Yin (Iron Goddess of Mercy)
🍯 Guangdong ➡️ Phoenix Dancong
🏔️ Taiwan ➡️ Lishan Oolong
