炎陵は中国湖南省南部、数千年以上前に茶を発見したとされる神話上の人物・神農にゆかりのある山々に位置しています。2026年の仕入れ旅行でこの茶に出会い、その静かな佇まいにもかかわらず、どれほど個性豊かな味わいを持つかに心を打たれました。ここの茶樹は、アミノ酸含有量が非常に高いことで知られる品種・安吉白茶に近い系統で、そのためカップに感じる柔らかさと自然な甘みが生まれています。当店の湖南保靖茶をお気に入りの方には、炎陵茶も同じ湖南省の別の地域ならではの、独自のゆったりとした個性で、似た魅力をお届けします。

Chloe ★★★★★

The description alone made me curious, but actually tasting it felt like a small trip to those Hunan mountains. I brewed a lighter cup than usual and still got a deep, almost herbal character that lingers nicely. This one's earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

Victoria Q. ★★★★★

The whole Shen Nong connection gives it a storybook feel, but what really sold me is how the leaves hold their character steeping after steeping. Even the third cup stays smooth and full, which is rare for a mountain green. I’ve already reordered twice.

Joshua A. ★★★★★

The misty mountain origin story is what sold me, but the actual taste of this green tea is what keeps me coming back. It brews up a gentle, grassy sweetness that feels like a quiet morning. I've already ordered a second batch.
