Wudang Daoist Green Tea

Wudang Daoist Green Tea (武当道茶)

Mountain-Cultivated Tea from the Sacred Wudang Range
Quiet Strength • Subtle Energy • Tea of the Internal Arts

A tea cultivated in stillness, nurtured by cloud and stone.

This traditional green tea comes from the high-altitude gardens of the Wudang Mountains, a sacred Daoist range in Hubei Province, China. For centuries, Wudang monks and martial artists have drunk this tea for its cool clarity, calming Qi, and focused energy—ideal for meditation, internal practice, and daily cultivation.

Grown without chemicals or artificial inputs, this tea is hand-harvested in spring, then gently wok-fired and dried to preserve its natural fragrance and subtle power.

It is clean, sweet, and quietly energizing—a tea of still mountain air, flowing streams, and rooted spirit.

The Wudang Mountains (武当山) are a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most important centers of Daoist cultivation, internal alchemy (内丹), and martial arts in China. For generations, Daoist monks and hermits have gathered spring leaves from these slopes to prepare cleansing, calming tea for internal refinement.

Wudang tea is known not for strength or showiness, but for its subtle depth and internal clarity—a tea that supports the Way (道) without striving.
