{"title":"Green Tea - Spring 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYunnan Green tea is less well known outside of China but has been a staple of Yunnan and Chinese life for decades. The warm tropical and sub-tropical climates that support tea cultivation in Yunnan are numerous and Yunnan produces as much tea as the entirety of the rest of China. Tea can be grown year round but is typically un-plucked during the winter months from the middle of October to late February. The first flush Yunnan green teas are typically harvested in the last week of February just after Chinese New Year. Yunnan green tea varietals are numerous but the vast majority are hybrids based on the \"large-leaf\" Assamica which is native to Yunnan. The Assamica strain lends a great deal of taste, astringency to Yunnan green teas and allows them to be infused several more times than their comparable north-eastern cousin (Dragon Well, Tai Ping Hou Kui or Huang Shan Mao Jian).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"yunnan-green-spring-snail-bi-luo-chun-green-tea","title":"Yunnan Green Spring Bi Luo Chun Green Tea","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpring comes early in Yunnan!

Though some may prefer to slightly rinse the first infusion, the most common way is to NOT rinse the leaves. Use water that is about 80~90 degrees and infuse for 1 to 2 minutes before drinking. Once the water in the glass\/pitcher reaches halfway, pour more hot water and fill to the top. This can be repeated several times, mostly retaining the original flavor of the tea.

Purple Bud has long been known as a scattered deviation that grows extensively among different kinds of tea plants. It is most common in summer tea. High anthocyanin content provides its purple color. It also results in a bitter flavor, which has given the purple buds a reputation as unsuitable for tea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHowever, in the late 70's and early 80's Wuyi Stone Tea (Yan Cha) producers discovered that Stone Tea variants could be cultivated and tamed, resulting in a fine tea variety with high yield and stress resistance. This also reduced much of the tea's bitterness. Consequently, the Fujian Tea Research Society produced a new asexual tea variety through natural hybridization of Da Hong Pao tea: Purple Bud Stone Tea. In technical terms, it is a medium leaf, late budding, shrub tea variety. It features dark yellow-green tender tips, purple buds, purplish-red leaf bases, short space between sections, little fuzz, soft leaves, and dense bud tips. In addition, it grows with high yield, and high stress resistance. Spring buds occur in mid to late March and one-bud-three-leaf growth occurs in mid to late April. The quality of this tea is excellent when processed as an Oolong. This variety represents a successful example of utilizing and improving on precious existing tea tree resources and is suitable for widespread cultivation in Oolong tea growing areas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilding on this breeding experience with Oolong teas, research was begun into the cultivation of variants of Yunnan large-leaf teas. In 1985, technical staff from the Yunnan Tea Research Institute discovered a tea tree with purple buds, leaves, and stalk among the institutes' plantation of over 600,000 trees. They processed its fresh leaves to produce a dark green roasted tea. The dried tea had a purple color and maintained this color in its brewed tea liquor. It also possessed a pure fragrance and a strong, intense flavor. Because of the tea's purple buds, leaves, and stems and the fact that it maintained this purple color after processing, they named the tea \"Purple Beauty.\" Through research and further cultivation, this variant has given rise to current Purple Beauty tea trees.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePurple Beauty tea trees are considered a small arbor\/shrub, big leaf, medium bud variety.

Purple Beauty has an elevated aroma, smooth and light mouth feel (\u003cem\u003ekou gan\u003c\/em\u003e), but with a  noticeable bitterness.

Only a few trees in a tea forest produce purple buds, and even ancient trees produce limited purple buds. Purple Beauty, on the other hand, is a cuttage plantation tree grown with high yield and tight planting. Tea variants are preselected with light and temperature added to encourage trees throughout the plantation to develop a purple color from the buds to the leaves and stalks. Traditional Purple Bud leaf blades are thick and dark green. The prominent veins in the leaves are similar to those of wild tea.  Traditional purple bud arbor tea brews a golden-yellow tea liquor with a heavy mouth feel and full flavor, while purple beauty has thin tea liquor, brownish-green color, and is relatively bitter. The two share high levels of anthocyanin.  The roasted tea is somewhat bitter and astringent, and the brewed liquor is a brownish green or indigo blue color, the sun-dried version shares some character with Pu-erh and has balanced astringency \/ bitter character.  Sun-dried Purple beauty is suitable for compression and aging as well!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"50 Grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549016838343,"sku":null,"price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121324646599,"sku":"","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549016871111,"sku":null,"price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121325072583,"sku":"","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 Grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549016903879,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 Grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121325105351,"sku":"","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 Grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549016936647,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 Grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121325138119,"sku":"","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kilogram \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46549016969415,"sku":null,"price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kilogram \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121325170887,"sku":"","price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/9817\/products\/DSC_1212.JPG?v=1557493627"},{"product_id":"liu-an-gua-pian-melon-seed-green-tea-from-anhui","title":"Liu An Gua Pian \"Melon Seed\" Green Tea from Anhui","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLiu An Gua Pian (六安瓜片 also known as Lu'an Gua Pian or Melon Seed) is one of the \"Big 10 Famous Chinese Teas\" (十大中国名茶), and is grown in Da Bie Mountain Liu An area of Anhui province.

They have been selected from trusted growers located on the outskirts of Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The temperate, overcast and rainy winter climate of Hangzhou contributes to the tenderness and sweetness of the buds and leaves which are picked early in the Spring and are then expertly pan-fried in a wok which further brings out the tea's unique characteristics, with slight sweet and bitter subtleties and the distinguished 'roasted chestnut' aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are offering this new higher grade (our highest grade) Dragon Well because we were so impressed by it's taste, aroma, stamina, and it's overall appearance. It avoids the nutty character of some other Long Jings, instead delivery a very subtle floral and fruit taste with a lingering sweetness. This tea is entirely hand-plucked and processed 100% in the traditional manner. The result is a lighter colored brewed leaf with the slightest oxidation where it was plucked from the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend you order other grades first before ordering this one. Taste this side by side with the Imperial, Premium, and Fancy grades we offer and you will taste the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Qing Dynasty, the imperial Qing court considered Dragon Well to be the tea of choice for summer consumption while they favored Pu-erh tea during the winter. This is likely due to the soft, refreshing, and cooling taste that the tea provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended way to brew Dragon Well tea is to use approximately 4 or 5 grams of tea for 250ml of water, in a glass cup or glass cha hai pitcher. Though some may prefer to slightly rinse the first infusion, the most common way is to NOT rinse the leaves. Use water that is about 80~90 degrees and infuse for 1 to 2 minutes before drinking. Once the water in the glass\/pitcher reaches halfway, pour more hot water and fill to the top. This can be repeated several times, mostly retaining the original flavor of the tea. No filter is needed and many enjoy chewing on or eating the tender leaves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperiment with amount of leaves, amount of water, and infusion times to reach your preferred strength of tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst Flush of Spring (March) Harvest\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrown on Da Fo Mountain in Xinchang County of Zhejiang at an altitude of 400 Meters. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#43 Varietal\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"25 grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46345243787463,"sku":null,"price":14.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45020962554055,"sku":null,"price":14.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46345243820231,"sku":null,"price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45020962586823,"sku":null,"price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46345243852999,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45020962619591,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46345243885767,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45020962652359,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 grams \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46345243918535,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45020962685127,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kilogram \/ Spring 2026","offer_id":46345243951303,"sku":null,"price":440.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kilogram \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45020962717895,"sku":null,"price":440.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/9817\/products\/DSC_3694_028decff-d29d-4bad-91c9-4abe5d339ba4.JPG?v=1744472589"},{"product_id":"wild-arbor-assamica-green-tea-from-feng-qing","title":"Wild Arbor Assamica Green Tea from Feng Qing","description":"\u003cp\u003eTypically Yunnan green tea is made from hybridized varietals like Yun Kang #10, Chang Ye Bai Hao, or Yun Kang #100.
