ORIGIN
Baise, located in the western part of Guangxi Province, China, is a mountainous region known for its pristine natural environment, ethnic diversity, and increasingly recognized high-quality tea production. It lies close to the borders of Yunnan and Vietnam, forming part of the upland subtropical zone where mountains, forests, and rivers create an exceptional ecological landscape. The area is part of the Youjiang River basin, surrounded by limestone and volcanic mountains with altitudes between 800 and over 2000 meters. In some parts, such as the Youle and Tianyang districts, the soil is of volcanic origin, rich in minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium — a composition that supports the growth of strong, aromatic tea bushes. Although Baise is not as historically famous as Fujian or Yunnan for tea, in recent years it has drawn attention from connoisseurs for producing pure, high-elevation wulong and red teas with distinct mineral sweetness and vibrant energy.
Baise’s climate is humid subtropical with mild winters and warm, misty summers, ideal for slow leaf development and aromatic complexity. The area remains largely unindustrialized and ecologically clean, with many plantations surrounded by forested hills. This isolation and natural purity make Baise teas free from pollutants and rich in natural vitality. Culturally, Baise is home to several ethnic minorities, including Zhuang, Yao, and Miao, whose agricultural traditions emphasize harmony with nature. Tea cultivation here often combines ancient farming wisdom with modern organic methods, focusing on sustainability and minimal interference. In the context of tea terroir, Baise represents a new frontier of Chinese wulong craftsmanship — an area that combines the wild energy of Yunnan, the floral depth of Taiwan, and the minerality of Wuyi, yet remains distinctly its own. The volcanic soil, altitude, and clean environment lend teas from Baise — such as the Bai Se Huo Shan Wulong - their signature bold sweetness, thick body, and lingering floral aroma.
ABOUT
Bai Se Huo Shan, also known as Volcano Wulong, comes from the remote highlands of Baise in Guangxi Province, an area shaped by ancient volcanic activity and surrounded by pristine mountain forests. This tea is made from the rare Ai Jiao varietal (C. sinensis cv. Aijiao-wulong), traditionally found near Wuyi Shan, but here it grows at nearly 2000 meters on the slopes of an active volcano. The volcanic soil, rich in minerals, nourishes the tea bushes and gives the leaves their distinctive energy and depth. Produced in a clean, high-elevation environment far from human and industrial pollution, Bai Se Huo Shan Wulong expresses both strength and harmony. Its taste reflects the character of its origin - full-bodied, smooth, and naturally sweet, with a fragrance reminiscent of roasted nuts and mountain flowers. Comparable in richness to Taiwanese Dong Ding, this tea reveals a bold and layered cup that embodies the vitality of volcanic terroir and the craftsmanship of modern Chinese wulong making.
ORGANOLEPTICS
The dry leaves of Bai Se Huo Shan Wulong are tightly rolled and dark green with subtle golden edges, releasing a warm aroma of baked nuts, honey, and wildflowers. When warmed, the fragrance deepens, revealing rich notes of caramelized sugar, orchid, and sweet wood with a hint of volcanic minerality.
The infusion is bright amber-gold, clear and radiant, carrying a deep floral-honey aroma. On the palate, the tea is full-bodied and smooth, with layers of roasted chestnut, ripe fruit, and gentle creaminess balanced by a subtle mineral freshness. The aftertaste is long and harmonious, leaving a soft sweetness and warm mountain energy that reflect the purity and strength of its volcanic origin.
