THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND OUR CHOICES
A tea table before an online shop.
We opened Yushan tea house in Xi’an in 2018, and brought that experience online in 2023. Years of brewing, comparing teas and serving guests still guide what we choose.
Our storyHOW WE CHOOSE
Dozens tasted. Three chosen.
We tasted dozens of Liu Bao teas and kept just three, each from a different year. Barely any musty storage notes, so the tea’s own character comes through.
Tasted by tea writers.

From our tea community.
"I was skeptical about Heicha in general — I've had some wet piled shu and thought I didn't like fermented tea. THIS CHANGED EVERYTHING. Crisp yet mellow, with a lingering syrupy sweetness. Keeping me coming back for cup after cup."
"Almost three hours of pure bliss. Even in its youth, already displaying elegance, character, and unparalleled complexity. Its evolution throughout the session was spectacular — revealing new layers of sweetness, warmth, and floral clarity even in the final infusions. Never before have I felt so clearly that a tea could have a soul."
"This is my first time trying fu brick tea, and I am honestly surprised — the taste and smell are even sweeter and more pleasant than I imagined. The Golden Flowers are very beautiful with a strikingly bold yellow color, so much prettier in real life. My first impression could hardly be better."
"What impressed me most is not only the excellent tea quality, but the genuine human communication. That kind of real interaction is rare today. Beautiful tea, generous extras, and authentic customer care."
