The Story

Where this leaf comes from.

Shan Feng — mountain wind. The name belongs to the trees we pick from: once-planted bushes long abandoned, now grown wild beside cedar and fern, fed on mist and nothing else. No fertiliser, no pruning, no spray — fifty years and more of standing still. Yield is tiny; we pick a single spring round and finish the leaves slowly, sun on bamboo trays, to keep the wild floral honey intact. The result is a red tea with broad shoulders and a clean, ringing aftertaste — what tea people call shan ye qi, the breath of the deep mountain.

Tasting

In the cup

  • Wild honey · longan · sun-warmed cedar
  • Thick, almost syrupy soup with a cool finish
  • Bitterness dissolves quickly into a long sweet return
  • Holds its character through 10+ infusions
Brewing

A simple gongfu method

Vessel
110ml gaiwan or thin-walled clay pot
Leaf
5 – 7g for a red tea pour
Water
90 – 98°C — let the kettle settle a moment
First 3 steeps
Quick pour, 5–7 seconds
Later steeps
Let it sit; the honey deepens
Best taken
Half an hour after a meal, never on an empty stomach
Why we love it
  • Clean ecology — wild groves far from farmland or spray
  • Rich aromatics, long huigan, far beyond plantation red tea
  • Ages with character — store it well and the soup grows rounder
An honest note
  • Not the same as untouched primitive wild tea — those we never sell
  • Strong on caffeine; keep it gentle at first if you are sensitive

Qing Su Shuixian

An old-bush Wuyi Shuixian with orchid breath and the slow, mineral pull of the cliffs. Mellow, never sharp — the cleanest welcome into rock tea.
