This is a special varietal of Purple "Ye Sheng" Wild Tree Tea. It literally grows wild and this "sweet" sub-type is the most rare of all. It took 5 people 18 days to collect and process just 32 kilograms of this incredibly unique tea.

The processing is very simple and involves brief withering and hot dry air exposure to halt the oxidation. The resulting tea is incredibly unique and is like a floral bouquet drenched in watermelon juice. The floral character is something like rose both in taste and smell. This tea is totally unlike any other tea I have ever tried, and not only is it unique but it's very complex and goes many many steeps.

Harvested in Jinggu County of Simao

Mid-February to Early March harvest

Reviews

Lovely balance of aroma and mouthfeel

"This is a lovely tea. Lots of fruit, floral, and fresh straw aroma. But also, like the other Yunnan white teas I enjoy, has a round, thick, and lingering mouthfeel. It is gentle on the stomach and has a gentle but present chaqi. Also a very good value. Definitely one to try if you enjoy white tea."

— Nico D. (5/5)

Специфический аромат, на любителя

"Очень нежный и приятный аромат, но из-за излишней сладости быстро надоедает. Эффект очень мягкий и приятный, достаточно сильный и заметный - легкость в теле и умиротворение. Советую всем попробовать, но в качестве повседневного чая лучше взять что-то более приземленное - красный чай или шу пуэр."

Top Shelf Tea

"It is expensive, but this is a great tea. Vivid flavors of eucalyptus, mint, and pine, along with that "watermelon juice" sweetness. In the top 3 best white teas I have tasted, for sure."

— KeemunLover (5/5)

Secret Tip

"This tea offers a very pleasant combination of sweetness, fruity aroma and a hint of acidity reminiscent of a fruit tea. In addition it is incredibly long lasting. Highly recommendable."

— Mirko (5/5)

Sweet floral perfume water

"This is the sweetest tea I have tasted so far. There is a tiny bit of a fruity sourness that balances the whole experience."

— Snackbar A. (5/5)

Q&A

All I'm getting is unimpressive warm water with maybe a hint of something vaguely vegetal or floral. I'm making it 'grandpa' style with 2 grams of tea at 85C for 3 minutes. The color seems to be about what I see in the photos but there's not much flavor, certainly not what other reviewers are saying. What am I doing wrong?
Email support@yunnansourcing.com and we can provide some tips for brewing this tea. 2 grams is likely way too little.
Advice for brew this kind of special tea please : boiling water? Gongfu or grandpa style? How much leaves?
You can gong fu it, using more leaves and short steeps. Water temp 85-90C. 5 grams per 100ml gaiwan is nice, you can adjust amount up or down from there.
is it the buds of the camellia sinensis plant?
It's Assamica Dehongensis.
