Ding Gu Da Fang, Flat Pressed Laoshan Green, and Shi Feng Dragonwell
Happy weekend tea friends,

In case you missed it, we got to release EIGHT new teas from the Cheng Family in Huangshan / Qimen. They are making some of China’s most storied green and black teas - including some that go back as far as the Han Dynasty as official imperial tribute teas, so tasting this spring’s fresh harvests has been thrilling
brewing 2026 Spring Ding Gu Da Fang
This Spring, I am honestly blown away by the aromatics, textural nuance, and aftertaste of all eight harvests.

Each of these teas taste like they are all special grade competition teas - honestly the best harvest I’ve ever tasted from them. So you can imagine my surprise when they actually lowered the price of their Huangshan Maofeng and Di Shui Xiang. I am obviously passing that savings back to you with lower prices this year :)

But today, their Ding Gu Da Fang has me thinking about Dragonwell.

When we think of flat pressed tea, we probably all think of Shi Feng Longjing. With Li Xiaoping’s famous and iconic brews, it’s hard not to! But arguably, Anhui’s Ding Gu Da Fang may actually be the oldest, most historic flat-pressed tea in the world.

If the newly-arrived Ding Gu Da Fang represents the world’s oldest Dragonwell style tea craft, then the fresh 2026 Reserve Flat-Pressed Laoshan Green is most certainly the newest tribute to this style in the world of tea craft.

Indeed, Mr. He wanted to start making Flat-Pressed Laoshan Green specifically to highlight the origin story of Laoshan tea:
The very first saplings were brought by a Daoist monk on a pilgrimage from Hangzhou near Dragonwell to Taiqing Temple in Laoshan. He planted these Dragonwell longjing qunti varietal saplings in the temple courtyard of Taiqing, and these seedlings lived hundreds of years and adapted to the northern climate before they were used to spread Laoshan tea across the area.

Since Laoshan tea comes quite direction from Dragonwell, the He Family wanted to make a tea inspired by Dragonwell. They've been doing so now for decades, and their Flat Pressed teas are rightly some of their most coveted harvests of each spring season.

My recommendation: use today’s coupon code to try flat-pressed tea from all THREE regions: Anhui, Longjing, and Laoshan. It’s pretty rare for just-arrived fresh spring teas like this to go on sale at all, so this is a great way to stock up.
Just for fun!

My weekend brew is flash-chilled Flat Pressed Laoshan Green.

Look at the foam this tea makes!
Normally, I’d brew up the potent shot in a gaiwan, but today I actually pulled a double-shot in an espresso machine with a never-used-for-coffee head, and a bunch of tea tamped down into it. The results were pretty stunning! 
No matter how you brew them, this year’s fresh spring teas are so rich, aromatic and inspiring.

I hope you get a chance to taste all the new harvests!

Happy Sipping,
David
