The special characteristic of this tea is made by long-hour withering, which reduce the bitterness and astringency of tea and enhance the flowery flavor and sweet taste. This character is a little similar to the spring black tea such as Darjeeling 1st flush. This tea is also very delicious to drink in cold.
Yun Feng is produced from the Switzerland IMO certified organic tea garden located at Guangxi, China (広西壮族自治区). One of the sweet taste of green tea is originated from the amino acid called theanine.
The name of Yun Feng derives from the location of tea garden. The peak of mountain where tea garden is located is higher than cloud. At high elevation, there is a huge temperature gap between day time and night time. In a day time, there is sufficient sun light and tea leaves vigorously produce plentiful of substances such as poly phenol, which are essential for the exclusive quality of tea. At night, if the temperature is high, the metabolism is continuingly taking place, and tea leaves will consume the substances that were produced during the day time. However, at the high elevation at mountain area, the lower atmospheric temperature at night caused tea leaves became less active and therefore those substances are remained in the leaves. With these factors, tea leaves are very rich in substances that contribute to the good quality of tea.
