A Tea Leaf’s 24-Hour Journey: From Garden to Cup

Uncover the craftsmanship behind your brew:

• 4 AM harvest: Plucking at dawn preserves maximum moisture in fresh leaves.
• Sun withering: Leaves spread on bamboo trays trigger enzymatic reactions through sunlight and wind.
• Fixation (shaqing): High heat deactivates enzymes, locking in green tea’s vibrant color and fresh taste.
• Rolling: Light shaping preserves delicate buds; heavy pressing creates compact cakes for aging.
• Charcoal roasting: Oolong teas develop orchid or peach notes through slow, low-temperature roasting.

Reflection: Every sip is a dialogue between time, terrain, and human touch.
