A fine green tea from the Lushan, where mountains are surrounded clouds and mist for about 200 days a year. The fog nourishes the leaves of the tea bushes and keeps them fresh and tender.

Lushan (Lu Mountains)

The picturesque region is known for its long history of tea cultivation, and was once home to over 300 monasteries during the Eastern Han Dynasty. The first pages of tea history was written by monks who climbed the Lu mountains to pick and process their own tea. Today, Lushan Yunwu (Lu Mountain Cloud & Mist) is regarded as one of China's most renowned green teas.

Taste & Aroma Profile

Our Lushan Yunwu is one of the freshest green teas you can get. While it is not as delicate as Anji Bai Cha or Huang Shan Mao Feng, it offers a well balanced flavour profile. The initial taste of fresh cut grass quickly transforms into an aroma profile of marine and floral notes, followed by a satisfying aftertaste of sweet milk, chestnuts, and honey. And last but not least, the lime green colour of the tea liquor looks truly magical.

The tea leaves also transform the texture of the water, creating a soft and smooth experience that encourages you to continue steeping more, even after the flavour has dissipated. Overall, the tea brings you in a mood of a warm spring day with a gentle breeze.

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.
