Each cup carries the elegance of oolong combined with the freshness of spring. This balance makes it a tea that stands out among other lightly fermented oolongs.

Pyramid Bags for Full Flavor
Whole Leaves of Flavor
Every pyramid bag is crafted to hold 3g of whole leaves, not broken fragments. The spacious design allows the leaves to fully expand during brewing, releasing layers of gardenia, magnolia, and grassy notes. This approach ensures flavor that feels as authentic as loose-leaf preparation. It gives you the convenience of a bag without sacrificing quality or depth.

You’ll taste natural floral sweetness balanced with fresh, green undertones that keep the cup lively. Its gentle character makes it ideal for daily enjoyment while still carrying enough depth to feel special. Each sip feels refreshing, smooth, and perfectly balanced.

Freshness Sealed In
Flavor Kept Pure and Bright
To protect its delicate aroma, each pyramid bag is nitrogen-filled immediately after packing. This process keeps the tea leaves vibrant and aromatic for months without losing character. From the moment you open the package, the fragrance feels as fresh as the day it was sealed. It ensures you enjoy a consistent and high-quality cup every time.
