Tea Story

Long before it became a modern-day favorite, the harmonious blend of tea and ginseng was celebrated in ancient China, with references dating back to 741 BC in the text《本草拾遗》. Yet, it was around 500 years ago that Ginseng Oolong ascended to its regal status as a tribute tea served exclusively to the emperor. Known as the 'King's Tea' or 'Orchid Beauty' (Lan Gui Ren), it was named after a beloved concubine of the Tang Dynasty.

Ginseng, known for its invigorating and restorative qualities, has been revered in traditional medicine for centuries. Paired with the smooth, creamy texture of oolong tea, this fusion creates a beverage that not only excites the taste buds but also energizes the body and mind. The oolong leaves are carefully selected, with some undergoing a light oxidation process to preserve their floral and honeyed undertones. Ginseng is then added in a careful balance, infusing the tea with a subtle yet distinct earthiness.

This tea's smooth texture, combined with a touch of sweetness and a lingering finish, provides a soothing yet revitalizing experience, perfect for those seeking balance and invigoration in a cup.
