Crafted By the He Family

Pioneers and community leaders, the He Family is dedicated to making a name for their stunningly smooth, malty, rich teas cultivated in China’s coldest, northernmost growing region.
 
This herbal tea is finished from wild growing native Laoshan goji trees, carefully hand-finished by the He Family with a technique similar to their reserve Laoshan green teas.

    • LYCIUM BARBARUMTea Varietal

    A member of the Solanaceae family, the caffeine-free Goji berry plant (Lycium barbarum) grows wild across Northern China - including on the slopes of Laoshan in Shandong. Though the plant is most famous for its berries, its dried leaves have been a part of traditional medicine in China for centuries. Once again this spring, the He Family foraged young and tender spring goji leaves and carefully finished them with green tea processing and a semi-oxidized finish.
