This tea is harvested from untended bushes 野放茶 growing in the Guan Yang area of Fuding (Fujian province) at an altitude of 900 meters!

April 2018 harvested Gong Mei pluck white tea was aged for 3 years in Fuding before being pressed into this cake in 2021. Stored in Fuding (Fujian) until early 2022.

This tea is ultra-smooth and sweet with a creamy thick mouth-feel. Tea soup is a deep orange color and the brewed leaves are deep brown in color. The qi is very balanced and the tea leaves have excellent stamina. You can feel the relatively high altitude growing conditions when drinking this tea!

Mao Xie aka “Hairy Crab” is a type of Anxi oolong tea that grows in many places in Anxi county of Fujian. Mao Xie means literally “Hair of the Crab” and refers to the hairs on the tea leaves that break off when brewed and float on the top of your cup. Mao Xie has got a thicker and sweeter taste than its more floral counterpart Tie Guan Yin.

Our Mao Xie Oolong is the highest grade normally available.

Region: Gan De Village in Anxi County

Elevation: 650 Meters

Varietal: Hairy Crab 毛蟹

We also offer a higher grade as well.

** Actual colors of the tea may vary somewhat from pictured. Purchase the smallest amount to try before purchasing larger amounts.

Origin Story:

Hairy Crab tea is originally produced in Daqiulun, Fumei Village, Daping Township, Anxi County (Fujian). The origin story is based on “The History of Tea Varieties” (published in 1979, edited by the Tea Research Institute of Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 74 pages): “According to Zhang Jiaxie of Pingzhou Village (71 years old in 1957): “The 33rd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1907) ) I went out to buy cloth and passed by the residence of Daqiulun Gaoxiang in Fumei Village. He said that there is a kind of tea that grows extremely fast, and that it can be picked only two years after planting. I brought back more than 100 plants and planted them in my own tea garden. Highly productive and good quality, so “hairy crab” tea spread around Anxi.

2018 “Drunk on Red” Sun-Dried Black Tea Cake

chyllax21@gmail.com — Wed, 07 May 2025 14:05:53 +0000

This is a blend of black tea from both the Mengku and Feng Qing area of Lincang. Both Autumn harvested black teas processed with sun-drying technique (晒红) . The tea is picked, wilted, fried, bruised by rolling, wet withered, and then finally sun-dried in it’s final stage (much like raw pu-erh mao cha).

When sun-drying is applied in the final stage as opposed to heat-drying, the result is a black tea that is more subtle when young, but ages very well over the coming years. Younger sun-dried black teas also tend to steep longer and display more character in the middle to later steeps.

This is a strong black tea with plenty of depth and complexity that will age wonderfully, developing honey sweetness and earthy spice character after just a few years.

100 Grams Per Cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)
