Eucommia tea, a cherished gem in the world of functional teas, traces its roots to the misty mountain slopes of central and southern China—regions where the ancient Eucommia ulmoides trees thrive in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and temperate climates. For centuries, these trees have been revered not just for their sturdy wood, but for their leaves and bark, which hold a wealth of natural goodness. Today, Eucommia tea, crafted from carefully selected Eucommia leaves, carries forward this legacy, offering a unique blend of earthy flavor and wellness benefits that has won over tea enthusiasts across the globe.
Distinctive Flavor & Aroma: Earthy Warmth with a Gentle Twist
Eucommia tea boasts a flavor profile that balances earthiness with subtle brightness. When brewed, it releases a warm, woody aroma—reminiscent of sun-dried herbs and fresh forest foliage, with a hint of mild sweetness that softens its earthy core. The taste is smooth and mellow, with no harsh bitterness; instead, it delivers a comforting, grounding sensation on the palate, followed by a faint, clean aftertaste. Its liquor shimmers with a pale golden hue, clear and inviting, adding a visual touch that enhances the overall sipping experience. Unlike bold, overpowering teas, Eucommia tea offers a gentle yet satisfying warmth, making it ideal for year-round enjoyment.
Every batch of Eucommia tea begins with meticulous harvesting. Skilled farmers hand-pick young, tender leaves from mature Eucommia trees—typically in spring and early summer, when the leaves are at their most nutrient-dense and flavorful. This hands-on selection ensures only the highest-quality leaves are used, a practice rooted in traditional Chinese herbalism. After harvesting, the leaves undergo a gentle processing journey: first, they are spread out to air-dry naturally, preserving their inherent nutrients; then, they are lightly roasted at low temperatures to lock in flavor and aroma. No artificial additives, preservatives, or flavorings are ever added—this minimal intervention lets the tea’s natural essence shine, a true reflection of respect for both the plant and its heritage.
Versatile for Every Lifestyle
Eucommia tea’s mild, comforting character makes it a versatile companion for diverse moments. Start your day with a cup to gently awaken your senses, its warm flavor providing a calm alternative to sharp morning coffees. Enjoy it mid-afternoon as a pick-me-up, pairing it with light snacks like almond cookies or fresh fruit—its earthy notes complement sweet and savory treats alike. In the evening, sip it slowly to unwind, as its caffeine content is naturally low, making it a perfect way to wind down without disrupting rest. It can also be enjoyed plain or with a tiny drizzle of honey (for those who prefer a touch more sweetness)—either way, it retains its soothing, nourishing qualities.

Water Temperature: 90-95°C (194-203°F) — Hot enough to extract the tea’s rich flavors and nutrients, but not so hot that it damages its delicate compounds.
Steeping Time: 3-4 minutes for the first brew; extend by 1-2 minutes for subsequent brews to draw out deeper notes.
Ratio: 3-4g of Eucommia tea leaves per 250ml of water — Adjust the amount based on your preference for a lighter or more robust flavor.
Reusability: The leaves can be steeped 2-3 times, with each brew offering a slightly softer flavor profile—ideal for slow, mindful sipping sessions.
Packaged in airtight, moisture-proof containers, Eucommia tea stays fresh for months, ensuring every cup is as flavorful and nourishing as the first.
