Two Masters, One Banzhang Expression
Created as a collaboration between Chinese painting master Chen Yongqiang and tea master Deng Xue, “Yunling Shuangying” brings together fine Chinese art and traditional Pu-erh craftsmanship. The tea is made from first-spring ancient-tree material sourced from the core Lao Banzhang Tea King Land, pairing the powerful character of this celebrated terroir with packaging inspired by Chen Yongqiang’s eagle and red kapok paintings.

Presented as a complete collector’s set, each set includes one 380g tea cake and two coordinating teacups featuring artwork-inspired designs.

Appearance
The cake is round, evenly proportioned, and moderately compressed, with a clearly defined central indentation. Thick, tightly formed tea strands are distributed evenly throughout the cake, with prominent golden tips. The surface has developed a glossy brown appearance, reflecting both the substantial leaf material and its maturity.

Aroma Tea Liquor
Once brewed, the tea produces a clear, deep amber liquor with a luminous, glossy appearance. Honeyed fragrance and elegant orchid notes rise prominently from the cup, accompanied by the distinctive mountain character of Lao Banzhang ancient-tree material. The aromatics are expressive yet composed, with clear depth and persistence.

Taste Finish
The liquor is rich, powerful, and full-bodied, opening with the concentrated structure associated with Lao Banzhang. Noticeable bitterness appears at first but transforms quickly into returning sweetness and continuous salivation.

The texture is thick and smooth, carrying substantial weight across the palate while retaining a lively quality. As the session develops, sweetness becomes increasingly evident, followed by deep throat resonance and a persistent mountain character that continues well beyond the sip.

A Collaboration Of Tea And Fine Art

Yunling Shuangying

Created from Lao Banzhang ancient-tree tea and conceived as a meeting between tea craftsmanship and Chinese fine art, “Yunling Shuangying” is a collector’s work designed to exist beyond the boundaries of an ordinary Pu-erh tea.

Its identity brings together the strength of one of Yunnan’s most revered tea terroirs, decades of tea-making experience, and the artistic vision of renowned Chinese painter Chen Yongqiang. Tea, painting, craftsmanship, and cultural expression are brought into a single work intended to be tasted, appreciated, collected, and remembered.

Fung Tea × Master Chen Yongqiang

A Collector’s Edition Born From A Shared Pursuit Of Excellence

Fung Tea began a special collaboration with renowned Chinese painter Chen Yongqiang. The partnership was founded on a shared belief that exceptional work should be created with integrity, patience, and an uncompromising respect for quality.

Master Chen’s artistic philosophy found a natural connection with Fung Tea’s approach to tea: both seek to preserve character rather than conceal it. His officially authorized imagery became the visual soul of “Yunling Shuangying”, while carefully selected Lao Banzhang ancient-tree material forms its foundation in the cup.

The result is not simply tea presented in artistic packaging. It is a complete collaboration in which tea and art share equal importance, transforming a 380g raw Pu-erh cake into a collectible expression of craft and culture.

Two Masters Across Two Worlds

Where Brush And Tea Craft Become One

The name “Yunling Shuangying” carries the spirit of this collaboration. “Yunling” evokes Yunnan, the mountainous homeland of Pu-erh, while “Shuangying” speaks to the meeting of two masters whose disciplines appear different, yet are united by the same pursuit of depth and authenticity.

One works through brush, ink, composition, and spirit. The other has spent four decades understanding the temperament of tea through leaf selection, processing, blending, and time. One captures strength through the image of the eagle; the other preserves strength within the structure of ancient-tree tea.

Together, they give this work a dual identity: the visual force of Chinese painting and the enduring character of Lao Banzhang Pu-erh, brought together in a form that can be both contemplated and tasted.

A Master Of Contemporary Chinese Painting

Chen Yongqiang (陳永鏘) — Brushwork With Cultural Weight

Born in Nanhai, Guangdong, in 1948, Chen Yongqiang (陳永鏘) is an accomplished figure in contemporary Chinese painting. He graduated from the postgraduate program of the Chinese Painting Department at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 1981 and has since held significant roles within major Chinese art institutions and associations.

His works have entered the collections of important cultural and governmental institutions, including national and provincial museums, art museums, archives, memorial halls, and public collections. Over decades of practice, he has developed a distinctive artistic language rooted in traditional brush-and-ink technique while carrying a powerful contemporary presence.

For “Yunling Shuangying”, his involvement gives the work far more than decorative value. His artistic authority places the collection within a broader cultural context, allowing the tea to function simultaneously as a beverage, a gift, and an object of artistic appreciation.

Explore His Artistry

The Eagle In Ink, The Kapok In Crimson

A Visual Language Of Strength, Spirit And Legacy

The artistic identity of “Yunling Shuangying” draws from two of Master Chen Yongqiang’s celebrated works, Ancient Kapok Tree (木棉古樹) and Eagle and Kapok (雄鷹木棉). Regarded among his enduring creations, the two paintings bring together the monumental presence of the ancient kapok tree with the commanding spirit of the eagle, forming the visual soul of the collection.

The eagle represents vision, courage, and strength, while the kapok, known for its vivid red blossoms and upright form, carries associations of vitality, resilience, and the cultural character of southern China. In Master Chen’s hands, these subjects become more than elements of nature; they express dignity, resolve, and an enduring life force.

Imagery from Ancient Kapok Tree and Eagle and Kapok extends across the tea wrappers and collector’s packaging, allowing the aesthetic experience to continue beyond the tea itself. Rather than serving as decoration alone, the artworks give the collection its identity and spirit, bringing tea and art together in a dialogue of craftsmanship, culture, and time.

Four Decades In Pu-erh

Master Tea Maker Deng Xue

Deng Xue has spent approximately four decades immersed in the tea industry, developing deep knowledge of Pu-erh tea, raw material selection, production, blending, and long-term transformation. His career represents the kind of accumulated practical experience that cannot be condensed into technique alone.

Working with material as distinctive as Lao Banzhang requires restraint as much as skill. The goal is not to make the tea immediately impressive at the expense of its natural character, but to understand how to preserve its strength, texture, aromatic depth, and future potential.

In “Yunling Shuangying”, Deng Xue’s role is to translate exceptional raw material into a tea with both immediate presence and long-term structure. The result reflects decades of judgment applied not to overpower the leaf, but to allow its terroir to remain unmistakably its own.

Disover The Tea Master

From The Heart Of Lao Banzhang

Ancient-Tree Material From A Revered Tea-King Terroir

The foundation of “Yunling Shuangying” lies in spring ancient-tree tea material from Lao Banzhang in Menghai, Xishuangbanna, long regarded as one of the crown origins of the Pu-erh world and celebrated for its commanding strength, depth, and unmistakable mountain character.

Old tea trees in this region grow within a mountain ecosystem shaped by elevation, mist, seasonal rainfall, sunlight, and mineral-rich soil. Their deep root systems nourish substantial leaves rich in natural compounds, giving Lao Banzhang tea its celebrated combination of strength, richness, pronounced bitterness, rapid returning sweetness, and enduring structure.

Spring material is especially prized for the fullness and vitality accumulated through the cooler dormant season. Carefully selected and hand-harvested at origin, these leaves preserve the purity and rarity of the material, forming the foundation of a tea with commanding presence, remarkable depth, and long-term ageing potential.

Traditional Methods, Mastered Over Time

Craftsmanship That Preserves The Character Of The Mountain

The processing of “Yunling Shuangying” follows traditional methods associated with high-quality raw Pu-erh. From the handling of freshly harvested leaves to fixation, rolling, sun-drying, and final pressing, each stage is controlled with the intention of preserving the natural strength of the material.

Fixation is carefully managed to protect the vitality and aromatic character of the leaf. Rolling is measured to encourage extraction while maintaining structural integrity, and natural sun-drying completes the maocha in a way that leaves space for future transformation.

For material of this level, craftsmanship is most valuable when it knows when not to interfere. The technique should not mask Lao Banzhang’s character, but preserve its power, texture, mountain presence, and potential so that the tea may continue to reveal new dimensions with time.

Appearance

Bold Structure, Golden Tips And An Imposing Presence

The dry cake presents a full, substantial form with thick, clearly defined leaf material running throughout its surface. Silver and golden tips appear naturally among darker leaves, creating contrast while revealing the richness and maturity of the selected material.

The strands are strong and visibly structured rather than fragmented, and the compression allows the character of the individual leaves to remain apparent. Even before brewing, the cake conveys weight, depth, and the commanding visual character associated with high-grade Lao Banzhang tea.

Its appearance is not polished into uniformity. Instead, the beauty lies in the visible strength of the leaf itself — a direct expression of origin, material, and traditional craftsmanship.

In The Cup

Golden Clarity With Power Beneath The Surface

Once infused, the tea produces a luminous golden liquor with remarkable brightness and transparency. Aromas rise naturally from the cup, revealing floral orchid notes, wild honey, and an unmistakable mountain character that gives the tea a sense of openness and depth.

The first impression on the palate is powerful and concentrated. Lao Banzhang’s characteristic bitterness arrives with clarity, yet transforms quickly into returning sweetness and active salivation. The liquor carries substantial body while remaining fluid and refined, creating a balance between strength and elegance.

As the session progresses, the tea becomes increasingly layered. Floral fragrance, sweetness, mineral depth, and the presence of ancient-tree material continue to unfold, leaving a broad and persistent impression rather than a single dominant note.

The Leaf After Brewing

Full, Supple Leaves With Remarkable Vitality

After repeated infusions, the leaves open fully, revealing broad surfaces, substantial thickness, clearly defined veins, and a resilient texture. Their condition provides one of the clearest visual indications of the quality of the original material.

The leaves remain supple and lively rather than weak or brittle, showing the vitality expected from carefully selected ancient-tree tea. Even after an extended session, their structure and elasticity remain evident, reflecting both the strength of the material and the restraint exercised during processing.

For a tea created with long-term potential in mind, the leaf base offers an important final perspective. It reveals the substance behind the cup and reinforces the relationship between exceptional material, precise craftsmanship, and future transformation.

Created To Be Tasted, Collected And Passed On

A Tea And Art Collection Designed To Endure

“Yunling Shuangying” was conceived as more than a premium Pu-erh tea. Its rare Lao Banzhang ancient-tree material, the experience of a master tea maker, and officially authorized artwork by Master Chen Yongqiang come together in a presentation created for serious appreciation and collection.

The complete presentation extends the artistic concept beyond the tea cake itself. The eagle and kapok imagery continues throughout the collector’s packaging, creating a unified work in which the tea, artwork, and presentation are inseparable parts of the same story.

For the tea connoisseur, it offers the depth, structure, and vitality of exceptional Lao Banzhang material. For the collector, it brings together provenance, craftsmanship, artistic authorship, and continued aging potential. For gifting, it carries a significance that goes far beyond luxury packaging, expressing respect, cultural depth, and a sense of lasting value.

Some teas belong to a moment. “Yunling Shuangying” was created to transcend it — to be tasted, collected, preserved, and allowed to deepen in both character and meaning with time.
