The Six Gudaye Collections
Packaging reveals the person. Circulation reveals the relationship. This website explains the collections; it is not a shopping cart.
Portable tea / easy daily drinking
《Haoyun》
Brew a little luck.
A first cup of old-tree tea for young drinkers. Whole-leaf tea bags — not crushed dust — open and brew with zero tools. Four mythical creatures for four kinds of luck; emotional value and a light ritual.

Small packs / easy tasting
《Chashi》
One cup — back to your real self.
An everyday tea for urban drinkers in their 30s and 40s. 50g loose-leaf in a new-Chinese aesthetic, kept whole and unbroken — the first infusion belongs to whoever opens it.

Crossover flavors / new exploration
《Xunwei》
Cut the noise. Return to real flavor.
For experienced drinkers of other teas who feel distant from Pu-erh. Single-serving sachets, flavor-led names instead of mountain jargon — lower the threshold without lowering the dignity.

One mountain, one taste
《Wenshan》
Good tea hides in deep mountains — deeper still in the heart.
A traditional Pu-erh fieldwork kit. 100g single-mountain cakes from key Yunnan terroirs — taste each land's temperament side by side at an honest price.

- Range
- ¥99–999 / cake
Aged tea / years of rhyme
《Cangshan》
What time keeps isn't only tea — it's the years.
Every tea here is aged — settled, with real years behind it. Kept for those who've drunk Pu-erh for years: not chasing fragrance or sweetness, but the lingering 'rhyme' that comes from getting better with age. Traditional Pu-erh formats: 357g cake, 250g brick, 100g tuo. Names drawn from deeper cultural resonance.
- Form
- 357g cake · 250g brick · 100g tuo, traditional formats
- Range
- ¥399–2900
Collection grade / long aging
《Yiwei》
What you collect isn't tea — it's patience and faith in the future.
Tea built for time. 200g cakes sold five to a sleeve, Daoist names, material and craft both engineered for long aging — what you collect is patience for the future.
- Form
- 200g cake, 5 per sleeve
- Range
- ¥199–1999 / cake
古大爷 +1 · Lao Tian
And then there's 'Lao Tian' — not on the shelf, but in the stories. Over a year in the mountains, Lao Tian comes across a little: single trees, out-of-print batches, an old farmer's own stash. Never listed, never negotiated, no links — it appears only at the tea table. Not scarcity marketing, just genuinely scarce.
