This is a unique tea to be sure. It's made from Wild Tree Purple varietal tea (ye sheng cha) growing in the Mang Fei mountain area of Yong De county. The tea grows wild and is only harvested in March. The tea was processed using the same technique used for Yue Guang Bai, the tea wilts briefly before being put into a long wind tunnel tube, where the action of air movement gradually halts the oxidation of the tea.

The taste is something unique too. There is a ton of complexity, with notes of fruit, flower, sugarcane, and a kind of bitterness that fades quickly. With even a few months of age the bitterness will transform into fruit sweetness with a long lasting after-taste. The tea soup is yellow, and is thick and soupy.

An incredibly rare tea, only 50 kilograms in total production!

We also offer a Purple varietal White Tea cakes pressed from the same exact tea garden!

and Purple Black tea cakes as well:

Juicy and Fragrant White Tea

"Surprisingly juicy and fragrant white tea. The leaf and cake are both agreeable to look at and easy to whittle. I like to use a lot of leaf, low temperature water and enjoy many repeated short infusions."

— Patrick S. (5/5)

A fine blended tea experience

"The first thing I noticed about this tea was the visual appeal of the cake. The uniformity of the leaf size and shape is notable and the juxtaposition of yellow white and oxidized purple leaf is beautiful. Taste is exactly what one would expect from the description. Familiar Yunnan white and purple black flavors harmoniously share presence. A fine quality tea."

— Will L. (5/5)
