Crafted by the Liu Family

In Longjuan, Anxi, tradition and market pressures don’t drive the Liu Family to focus exclusively on traditional techniques; instead, they explore unexpected styles, mixing techniques and taking inspiration from across China to build a demand for their craft.

    • TieguanyinTea Varietal

    For years, we have enjoyed tasting the difference between looseleaf sheng maocha and the pu’er cakes pressed from the same material. Pressing process and aging environment have a strong influence on flavor development in pu’er - why not Tieguanyin? This 2010 pressing from the Liu Family is one of their earlier experiments from a process they have been exploring for many years. Beyond the traditional notes of "lao tie," this pressed and aged oolong has a medicinal and cooling quality and bright foresty texture all its own.


  • 'Tea is full of complex molecules – from sugars and phenols to volatile aromatics. Given enough time and the right conditions, each can transform over time through a variety of complex, natural processes.'
