Mei Zhan Tea

The Bold and Fruity Elegance of Mei Zhan Tea

Mei Zhan Tea is a distinctive oolong variety known for its bold character, large leaves, and rich, fruity flavor. Grown at high elevations on Mount Zhenghe in Fujian, China, Mei Zhan Tea—often referred to as Da Ye Mei Zhan (Big Leaf Mei Zhan)—is prized for its unique prune-like taste and aromatic complexity. The dry leaves are dark green, indicating a light roast, and release a deep chocolaty aroma even before brewing.

Why Mei Zhan Tea is a Standout Oolong

Mei Zhan Tea brews into a bright orange liquor with a smooth, velvety mouthfeel and a bouquet of floral and savory notes. Its flavor is rich and layered—infused with hints of plum, prune, and roasted nuts, balanced by sweet undertones of honey and brown sugar. Aromas of lemongrass, lavender, and orchid fill the room, creating an immersive tea experience. The aftertaste is long-lasting and sweet, reminiscent of pistachios glazed in honey. With its luxurious texture and memorable flavor, Mei Zhan Tea is a rare treat for tea lovers seeking something bold, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.
