An exceptional black tea made from large and thick wild tea leaves of the Golden Peony cultivar.

Our Tasting Notes

Unlike most classic Wuyishan black teas, which are sweet and straight forward, this Golden Peony black tea is more adventurous and complex in flavour. When prepared the traditional way, the first 2 steeps are pleasantly savoury and berry sweet, but the best is yet to come: Starting from the third steep, this tea is magical, as the tea reveals its fruity floral aroma with a base of minerals and pine wood. The taste isn't aggressive neither bitter, the texture is characterised by a pleasant thickness, and the hui gan (aftertaste) is excellent. When it comes to endurance, this tea lasts many more steeps compared to small leaf black teas.

Golden Peony Cultivar

Generally black teas from the Wuyishan region, such as Jin Jun Mei and Lapsang Souchong, are made from the small leaf cultivar. In contrast, this black tea is made from large wild tea leaves of the 'Golden Peony' cultivar (金牡丹 - Jin Mu Dan), which is normally used for producing oolong tea. Our Jin Mu Dan is hand picked and consists of leaves ranging from 3 to 8cm in size.

Tasty tea, new finding

Really good

Really good. Though to my tastes I want something with a bit more body to it. The flavor is unique, delicious, and it brews very well. But there’s an additional brightness and richness in the body that I look for in my favorite teas.

It was and is a wonderful experience to try and I look forward to serving it to friends also as a part of tea ceremonies. If you like a more delicately flavored tea with unique flavor and complexity you’ll enjoy this a lot and it will likely be a full 5 star to you. :)

Floral and very fine

Stellar! Medium bodied, gentle tannin and a fabulous, rose-like aroma lending elegance.

sophisticated and delicate

Brewing: 5g/100ml, 85°C, 5s, +5s.
Warmed-up dry leaves smell of flowers and stone fruit. When wet, warm spices appear.
The liquor has the same flowery taste profile as Bai Mu Dan, but in a black tea context. This is interesting, because different cultivars are being used. Besides this signature peony note, we have plum, spices and a bit of wood. Smooth, soft blend. Sophisticated and delicate. Good for 8 steeps.

I love this tea

I love this tea, complex and aromatic. Very bright, sweet and fruity in the first brews and turning more mineral and "moody" later.

Great Wuyi red tea, cheaper and higher quality than alternative international suppliers.

Smell: extremely flowery, only then dark sweet bread
Brewed smell: fruity and flowery
Tasting notes: first brews are berry sweet, then transforms into floral honey, fruity floral

5g/100ml, 95C, 15s (leave first brew to taste last), 10s->+5s

Interesting black tea that reminds me of an unsmoked lapsang souchong, but a little stronger and more robust. I must say that I do not agree with the 5g per 100ml at 100c advice. I use 3.5-4g per 100ml and 90-95c, the tea comes out smoother for me.

Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.

When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.

Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
