The Best Of

While all (or nearly) the teas have sold out almost immediately, we kept a bit to share with serious tea lovers who want the very best available.

15 grams of each:

• 2026 FengHuangWo – arguably the best current Yiwu terroir (and the biggest gaogan trees in the terroir)
• 2025 Lao Ban Zhang Selected Ancient Trees Elegant – 100% pure gushu aged LBZ
• 2014 BHYJ BoHeTang – legendary cake from the legendary Yiwu terroir
• 2002 Yiwu – one of the very first pure gushu cakes
• 1970s LiXiLong brick – amazingly strong and well stored Puerh
• + 7g of 1956 Antiquity (gift!)

Need something to brew the tea with? Check Teapots by He Zhong Tai or Antique Teapots.

If you buy both this set and The Gold Standard set, you get an exclusive gift: 5 x 7g Benchmark Ancient Tree packets (we will pick the teas to match the ones in the tasting flights and the rest of your order).

Note that you will receive standard silver coloured bags
