1. Exploring the 5 Signature Keemun Masterpieces
01. Wilderness (荒野 · Huangye)
Net Wt: 128g | Deep Espresso Wooden Gift Box【Untamed Mountain Terroir & Ancient Vitality】 Harvested from semi-wild, deep-mountain old arbor tea trees situated along the untamed ridges of Qimen. Thriving without chemical fertilizers or human intervention, these resilient bushes develop deep roots that absorb rich mineral reserves from rocky soils.
02. Langui Qihong (兰桂祁红)
Net Wt: 125g (62.5g×2) | Imperial Gold-Yellow Gift Box【Harmonious Duet: Chloranthus Orchid & Sweet Osmanthus】 A celebrated tribute to traditional Eastern botanical scenting techniques. Packaged in a radiant imperial yellow box, this blend brings together high-grade Keemun black tea with the gentle warmth of autumnal golden osmanthus and ethereal wild chloranthus blossoms.
03. Jasmine Blossom Keemun (茉莉祁红)
Net Wt: 125g (62.5g×2) | Spring Jade Green Gift Box【Midnight Blooms Meet Warming Amber Liquor】 Defying the convention that jasmine belongs only to green tea, this artisanal creation pairs tender midsummer night jasmine petals with sweet, gentle Keemun leaves through multiple rounds of traditional scenting (Xun Zhi). The spent petals are meticulously separated, leaving behind only the pure, crystallized scent.
04. Century Arteries · The Great Tea Road (万里茶道)
Net Wt: 125g (62.5g×2) | Antique Parchment & Silk Road Gold【Commemorating the Historic Eurasian Caravan Route】 Between the 17th and 19th centuries, the legendary Great Tea Road transported precious Chinese teas across thousands of miles to Russian and European courts. Adorned with classical brushwork and maritime-overland trade routes, this collector’s box revives the benchmark profile of classical Gongfu Keemun.
05. Heritage Master Edition · Palace Lantern (非遗经典红礼)
Intangible Cultural Heritage Master Line | Ceremonial Red & Gold【The Pinnacle of Imperial Tribute & Master Craftsmanship】 Encased in an auspicious Chinese red presentation box featuring an embossed palace lantern motif, this tea is supervised by officially recognized representative inheritors of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage of Keemun crafting techniques. It embodies the highest level of orthodox Gongfu black tea making.
