Old Fir Tea: A Symphony of Forest and Time

Imagine plucking leaves that have danced with mountain mists for half a century—this is Old Fir Tea, a treasure nurtured by the quiet wisdom of ancient Chinese forests.

Appearance: Earth’s Elegant Brushstrokes

The dry leaves unfurl like aged parchment, their deep emerald hues streaked with silvery veins, as if kissed by the moon’s soft glow. When steeped, they bloom into tender, elongated blades, painting the water in a golden-amber hue that shimmers like sunlight filtering through pine canopies.

Aroma: A Walk Through a Misty Woodland

Inhale, and you’re transported to a dawn-lit forest. First, the bright zing of fresh-cut pine, then layers of warm honey and dried wild berries, wrapped in a whisper of damp soil—earthy, sweet, and faintly resinous. It’s the scent of morning dew clinging to old-growth trees, captured in a cup.

Taste: A Journey of Textures

Sip slowly, and the tea unfolds like a story. Initial notes of crisp green apple give way to a velvety sweetness, with a subtle, lingering pine finish that tingles the palate. The mouthfeel is rich yet clean, like drinking spring water infused with forest herbs—smooth, refreshing, and 带有 a gentle “huigan” (returning sweetness) that lingers long after the last sip.

Why It Matters: Time in Every Cup

Each leaf comes from fir trees over 50 years old, grown without pesticides in the high-altitude mountains of Fujian. This slow, unhurried cultivation lets the tea absorb the forest’s essence, resulting in a brew that’s not just a drink, but a connection to nature’s patience.

Perfect for quiet afternoons by the fire or as a sophisticated end to a meal, Old Fir Tea is more than a beverage—it’s a sensory escape to the heart of the woods.
