The spring breeze brushes the emerald ridges, and countless new shoots rise like fledgling heroes appearing on the martial‑world stage, nurtured by the gentle rain.

The early‑spring infusion is crystal‑clear, as bright as moonlight reflected on water. Its aroma lingers like the gleaming chill of an ancient sword drawn from its scabbard. The sweetness intertwines strength and tenderness, while the lingering after‑taste flows back to the heart like the slow, steady current of the Yangtze River.

Early Spring Four Season oolong is sweet and elegant.

  • While promoting sustainable tea farming, we also see many elder farmers who have quietly tended to their fruit trees for a lifetime. These fruits come from the areas surrounding our tea garden, lovingly grown by experienced hands — ripe, natural, and free of additives.
    Every purchase is a show of support for local agriculture and helps bring these precious fruits straight from the source to your table.

  • Many visitors to our tea garden are amazed by the fruit here: “How is it so fragrant and sweet?”
    We believe that the true taste of the origin is something that simply can't be mass-produced.

One tea garden, a whole ecosystem

We grow our tea without pesticides or herbicides — the grass stays, and so do the insects. Over the years, mantises, ladybugs, bulbuls and tree lizards have come back one by one. They hunt pests, build nests and raise their young among the tea bushes, and they are our best partners in the field. Here are some of the neighbors we have met. Come and say hello.

The leafhopper and the honey aroma

In summer, tiny green leafhoppers nibble the young tea shoots. To protect themselves, the bitten leaves produce special aromas — and once made into tea, they give that lovely honey and ripe-fruit fragrance. This is how Taiwan's Oriental Beauty and honey black teas are born. Leafhoppers only stay in gardens without pesticides, so every sip of honey aroma is also proof of a clean tea garden.
