Golden Tea – Premium Loose Leaf from Ancient Trees

From the mountains of Hunan — a tea worth its weight in gold.

For centuries, Golden Tea was a closely guarded secret of the Chinese imperial court. Today, you can experience the same tea that emperors once savored — harvested from 2,057 ancient tea trees in the Wuling Mountains, the oldest of which has stood for 417 years.

What Makes Golden Tea Extraordinary?

The “Four Signatures” of Excellence:

• Aroma — rich, floral, and naturally rose‑like, with geraniol levels 115% to 164% higher than other tea varieties

• Color — a vibrant, jade‑green liquor that captivates the eye

• Mouthfeel — crisp, refreshing, and remarkably smooth

• Finish — a gentle, lingering sweetness that stays with you

The Science Behind the Taste:
Our ancient trees draw rare minerals from selenium‑rich soil through root systems developed over centuries. The result:

• Amino acids: 7.47% — 2 to 3 times higher than ordinary green teas

• Polyphenols: ~20% — for powerful antioxidant support

• Perfect 3:5 ratio — the “Golden Zone” where freshness shines and bitterness fades

• China National Geographical Indication protected product

• Hunan Province’s only living plant‑based intangible cultural heritage
