Join the Tea Community

Our customers and tea friends often gather on The Tea Table, a tea community on Discord originally created by tea enthusiast Liquid Proust in 2020.

Inside the server, members discuss tea, share tasting notes, and help each other learn more about Chinese tea.

Some of our customers have also started a small OrientaLeaf corner there to chat about the teas they’re drinking. If you'd like to meet other tea drinkers and join the conversation, you're warmly welcome to join.

Handpicked spring buds from Jinggu Ancient Trees create a luminous, fragrant Bai Hao Yin Zhen white tea cake with a refreshing, silky-smooth finish — a rare delight for tea enthusiasts.

Crafted from first-flush ancient tree buds, this white tea cake delivers luminous honeyed liquor, delicate floral aroma, and a naturally sweet, silky finish.

In the serene, mist-clad valleys of Jinggu, Yunnan, generations of artisans have perfected the art of premium white tea. Our 2023 Silver Needle White Tea Cake — Bai Hao Yin Zhen — is handpicked from the first flush of ancient trees, continuing the centuries-old tradition of Tribute Tea production. Each needle-like bud glistens with silvery down, a hallmark of premium Bai Hao Yin Zhen.

On infusion, the tea releases a complex bouquet: soft white florals, honeyed sweetness, and a whisper of almond and creamy notes. The liquor gleams golden amber, silky on the palate, balancing refreshing freshness with a gentle natural sweetness. Over time, slight oxidation subtly deepens the honeyed and floral nuances, offering layers of evolving flavor that tea connoisseurs cherish.

Perfect for contemplative mornings or elegant tea gatherings, this tea bridges the rich Chinese heritage with Western appreciation for delicate, nuanced flavors. Each sip is a journey through delicate florals, light sweetness, and the pure character of Jinggu's ancient white tea trees.
