2026 Handmade Biluochun Red Tea

A fully oxidized red tea made from early Biluochun leaves from Dongshan (~3rd April 2026).

Same material, different expression. Checkout our Biluochun Blogpost about the farm here.

Instead of being finished as green tea, part of the material is fully oxidized into a red tea, resulting in a deeper, rounder profile while retaining the floral and fruit-driven character of the origin.

Expect:

  • pipa, peach, and apricot notes

  • soft, smooth texture

  • long, persistent finish

Hand picked and hand processed in small quantities.


Brewing

  • 3–4g per 100ml

  • 90–100°C water

  • suitable for gongfu or western brewing

Grown in the misty hills of Dongshan, Suzhou, our Biluochun thrives in a unique microclimate: gentle slopes, fertile soil, and abundant rainfall create lush tea gardens where tea trees grow harmoniously alongside fruit orchards. This centuries-old tradition of "tea-fruit interplanting" imbues the leaves with a delicate floral-fruity aroma – a signature of authentic Dongshan Biluochun.

Artisan Craftsmanship
Handmade by Master Yan Jielong – a National Tea Master and Biluochun非物质文化遗产 (Intangible Cultural Heritage) inheritor – at the prestigious Yufeng Tea Factory. Each spring, only the youngest pre-Qingming (even before Spring Equinox) buds are plucked (one bud, one leaf), ensuring supreme tenderness. Due to the labor-intensive process and limited yield, production halts after early spring; this rarity makes every batch a treasure of the season.

Only small batches are handcrafted yearly – a testament to Master Yan’s dedication to traditional, zero-compromise quality. Ideal for connoisseurs seeking the pinnacle of early-spring green tea.
