Introduction to the Deepness of Wuyi Rock Teas | Presentation & Tasting ~ 26th Apr.16:30>>
Join us for an exploration into the fascinating realm of Wuyi Rock Teas and the signature rock rhyme. During our upcoming program, we aim to deepen your understanding of this tea type, its rich history, and its distinctive place within the diverse world of teas. Wuyi Yancha has a unique character which offers a deep, layered experience rooted in the rocky cliffs of the Wuyi Mountains. The dry leaves carry a toasted, mineral scent with hints of cacao, tobacco and charred wood. Once steeped, the aroma opens into sweet roasted chestnuts, warm stone, floral and fruity note. We understand the unique processing and the charcoal roasting effect on the amazing aroma.
This event is recommended for everybody, who is interested in tea ceremony. Admittance: €55

TianmenShan, Xishuangbanna, April 6, 2025, 11:26 /
It’s late, but these are the most beautiful moments in the tea factory. The leaves picked in the morning have softened by evening, but the night shift just beginning. The last tea is shared, the cigarettes are burning and the roasting begins. The night cannot end until every leaf is laid out on trays, ready to greet the morning light.

Lao Banzhang has become a Swiss Bank of the pu-erh tea world. Entry to the village is strictly controlled, visitors must pay an entrance fee, the tea-roasting wok is set into granite, and the price of the pu-erh is sky-high. But the tea is truly impressive — and worthy of all the fuss.

„As hard as iron, as lustrous as water, as smooth as jade, and as resonant as stone.”Jianshui clay has an exceptionally high iron content, giving the fired vessels outstanding hardness. Its surface has a metallic feel to the touch, and when tapped, it produces a sound that is both metallic and stone-like. Jianshui ceramics are not coated with glaze; instead, they are meticulously polished, resulting in a glossy, radiant finish that resembles a mirror. Check out our unique collection 🙂
Jianshui is one of the four great ceramic traditions. As ancient as Yixing, yet less known in Europe, it carries a unique charm. Crafted from local clay stone, its teapots and vessels are adorned with delicate carvings and colorful inlays. As the surface is polished, the patterns reveal themselves with striking beauty. What a honour that Shen Hong Zhi, the greatest master of the Jianshui Zitao explains the technique 🤎

We think that this day not as a celebration of gender, but of the essence and qualities of femininity.

Guanyin (观音) is one of the most revered deities in Chinese Buddhism, known as the Bodhisattva of Compassion and Mercy. Originally derived from the Sanskrit Avalokiteśvara, who was depicted as male in India and Tibet, Guanyin gradually took on a female form in China over time. Compassion, mercy, and nurturing are often associated with feminine qualities. As a result, Guanyin transformed into a motherly, protective deity who alleviates suffering. A seated figure in white robes, often holding a lotus flower or a vase pouring out mercy upon the world.
Join us for a special tea tasting where we explore the flavors of Japanese Alps and we understand the old tea masters` expertise.

At the beginning of the Lunar New Year 🐍, traditions rooted in ancient wisdom take center stage, offering guidance and connection to the rhythms of life. One such tradition is ‘shagai’, the Mongolian art of divination using sheep or goat ankle bones. Beyond its practical origins, shagai has evolved into a sacred practice for seeking insights into the future and fostering harmony with nature’s cycles. Join our event celebrating this occasion. Please register via email fbteashop@gmail.com or in the Tea Bar. Participation fee: €30.

We are heading into a mysterious year ahead 🐍.
At this New Lunar Year’s celebration, we will receive guidance for these challenges, we will ward off evil spirits, and later our friend will read the predictions for the coming year. This way, people born under each of the 12 zodiac signs will get a glimpse of what the Year of the Snake holds for them. Naturally, the FU 福 symbol, representing luck and happiness, will not be left out. Everyone will have the chance to paint it in calligraphy and take it home. The yak butter tea will also be prepared, including a dairy-free version, spiced to perfection and made with heicha tea. Please check in advance which zodiac sign corresponds to your birth year.
~~~
We kindly ask for a contribution of 30 EUR per person to cover the cost of ink, paper, tea, yak butter, milk, and other treats. We ask you to register by sending a short email to fbteashop@gmail.com.

Good tea is a treat for the mind, soul and body
Every tea connoisseur has their own favorite tea. But there is always something new to discover. Each tea has its own special aroma and effect, depending on the respective growing area, the vintage and the type of processing. Find your new favorites in our online shop today! As tea enthusiasts and sommeliers we taste every tea we offer in our shop. To help you in your exploration we aim to present a meaningful description for each tea, as well as our suggestion how best to brew it.
Get to know the world of teas online!
With our tea range you will get to know the most diverse tea regions and tea types. You can simply search for your favourite chinese or japanese green tea, Taiwan oolong or Yunnan puerh tea in our online shop. We also offer you a wide selection of Matcha tea sourced from reputed Japanese producers. Matcha is the ‘greenest green tea’, the only tea drunk whole when dissolved in water. Of course, our tea selection also includes rare and special teas like wuyi oolongs, phoenix mountain dancongs, old white teas, liu bao heicha or award-winning gyokuro teas.
Each tea region has its own characteristic “signature” tea types, such as the Long Jing of Hangzhou, Bai Hao Yinzhen of Fuding, Bi Luo Chun of Jiangsu, Huangshan Maofeng of Anhui, Tie Guan Yin of Anxi, High Mountain Oolong of Alishan and Uji Sencha from Kyoto. But there are also lesser known varieties only produced in small quantities at specific tea mountains or villages. We regularly travel to these remote tea gardens to bring you these specialties, so you will always find something new to try at Flying Bird Tea.
How about a beautiful teaware?
We, at Flying Bird Tea, are passionate about the art of ancient chinese and japanese ceramics. Browse our carefully selected Yixing teapots, Jianshui clay teapots, Celadon gaiwans, or Bizen hohins, Hagi Chawans, and Tokoname Kyusus. But if convenience is more important for you, you will also find modern tea utensils such as kamjove press teapots, travel teasets, simple and ornamented porcelain teacups.
