Brand Story
Lüyangchun tea originates from Yangzhou, Jiangsu, and its name is inspired by the Qing Dynasty poet Wang Shizhen's line 'Green willows surround the city of Yangzhou' from his ci poem 'Huanxisha', symbolizing the fusion of spring scenery and tea fragrance. Yangzhou's tea history dates back to the Tang Dynasty, as recorded in Lu Yu's 'The Classic of Tea'. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea culture flourished in Yangzhou, with literati gathering over tea, gradually shaping Lüyangchun's distinctive character. The modern Lüyangchun was developed in the 1990s by local tea farmers and experts, using fresh leaves from native tea bushes, processed through pan-firing, rolling, and drying. The tea features flat, slender leaves, a vivid green hue, a lasting fragrant aroma, and a fresh, sweet aftertaste with a bright green infusion. More than just a tea, Lüyangchun represents the harmony of Yangzhou's garden culture and tea heritage, reflecting the elegance and gentleness of the Jiangnan water towns. Today, it stands as a representative local tea, having won multiple provincial awards and earning the affection of tea enthusiasts.
