About Bitterleaf Teas
Bitterleaf Teas is a Kunming online shop opened in 2015 by Liu Xuan, a Kunming native, and Jonah Snyder from Canada. Each product carries a two-part name, a nickname plus the year, region and style, so a listing like Cinnamon Sky reads as a 2026 spring Rougui dancong.
The range covers raw and ripe pu-erh, white tea from Fuding and Yunnan, Phoenix dancong oolong, and blends such as a shou pu-erh with black tea. Teaware is mostly Jianshui clay and Jingdezhen porcelain. A good first order is Little Mountain, a 2023 Fuding shoumei, plus one of the dancong minis to compare.
