Description

This majestic green tea, one of the most famous in China, comes from Yellow Mountain. Legend has it that inconsolable tears of a beautiful young girl who worked on a tea plantation came down in such a steady rain that the body of her lover – whom fate had separated from her – was turned into a tea bush.

This tale explains the perpetual mist that covers the area. The leaves, picked very young with their buds, are yellow-green, flat, and covered by silvery tips.

The cup is apricot-coloured, its grand fragrance being simultaneously mild and highly flowery. This outstanding drink is the emperor of green teas.
