Buying at YunNan Sourcing since

"Buying at YunNan Sourcing since 2015! Great quality!"

— Vladyslav K. (5/5)

the aroma for this tea

"the aroma for this tea is mild, I noticed it doesn't last for too long, but it definitely taste great while it is. I haven't noticed any aftertaste to it."

— Fawzi S. (5/5)

A complex oolong at a good price

"Very pleasant roast charcoal overtone. Complex fruity flavors."

— Tom C. (5/5)

Ok Tea.

"An everyday drinker. You might let it rest a little bit more if you are not really into smoky aroma. Yixing teapot seems to help a little with this but the smoky notes are definitely there. At the end of the session you can taste 2 things that I did not enjoy particularly: more pronounced smoke and something papery."

Great value for money

"I love this tea, it has a great after taste of rasberries and freshness. Great value for money. I prefer this tea over most dan cong's to be honest."

The Best Shit!

"The Best Shit!"

— Jonathan G. (5/5)

Great yancha at a very affordable price

"It is a very wel processed wu yi yancha, porbably not from the protected zhengyuan region, but rest assured it can beat teas that are from the protected region and are sold at double or triple the price. Nice cherry tabacco notes, strong aftertaste with little roasted taste at the first 3 infusions, last 8 infusions with great complexity and strenght. I am very satisified with this tea."

— Szilard N. (5/5)

Let it mellow.

"This is one that I enjoyed less when I first got it. The roast taste was a bit overpowering. I did some research and found that this is normal when the tea is young and that one should wait several months for the roast taste to mellow. Fast forward to yesterday's session and I'm impressed with all the fruit and spice character this tea has. There is a roast taste there still but it's very much in the background. Went 9 steeps gongfu. Color me impressed!"

— Frederick B. (5/5)

The tea has a very

"The tea has a very metallic dull flavor that isn't nearly as strong as it should be. While it does have a more mellow flavor, its almost non-existent and is so weak that there is no aftertaste in your mouth and by the 2nd or 3rd pot, gongfu style, it has no taste."

— Ethan A. (2/5)

Q&A

Should I open the sealed package from delivery and let air circulate? I will store it in my basement, which is well climatically controlled.
This should be stored sealed.
