Behind The Hole

Sunken Caverns is a wulong cha from Shen Ya Village in Guangdong Province. The cryptic name (“Behind The Hole”) most likely references where the mother tree was growing, but theories proliferate. Featuring a bready bouquet of fruit-spice and florality, these leaves are difficult to pinpoint but easy to love. 

Dancong Wulong

Study the subtle and delicate flavors of Dancong, the celebrated Wulong (Oolong) tea from the Chaoshan region of Guangdong Province. Unlike other teas, usually named after their physical form or local lore, Dancongs are named after their fragrances.

Producers cultivate Dancongs to mimic the aromas of flowers and other botanicals. In addition to this fragrance, Dancong also comes in many other scents, such as Yu Lan Xiang, which translates to Magnolia, and Rou Gui Xiang, which translates as Cinnamon. You can find our aged Honey Orchid dancong here.
