From Yunnan Sourcing

This is a special varietal of Purple “Ye Sheng” Wild Tree Tea. It literally grows wild and this “sweet” sub-type is the most rare of all. It took 5 people 18 days to collect and process just 32 kilograms of this incredibly unique tea.

The processing is very simple and involves brief withering and hot dry air exposure to halt the oxidation. The resulting tea is incredibly unique and is like a floral bouquet drenched in watermelon juice. The floral character is something like rose both in taste and smell. This tea is totally unlike any other tea I have ever tried, and not only is it unique but it’s very complex and goes many many steeps.

Harvested in Jinggu County of Simao

Mid-February to Early March harvest

This tea is first and foremost aromatic – as I’ve found that lots of bud-only white tea is. And this smell reminds me of something that I’ve smelled before, but I just can’t put my finger on it.

The unique part of this tea is this floral/fruit/dill note that dance and shift randomly. One sip I get floral, the other I get fruit, and the last I get dill.

The dry aroma is super strong, something like sweet flowers or even fruit punch. Then when infused, the smell just magnifies. It’s like fragrant flowers infused into watermelon juice, and amongst the flowers there are some pine needles.

Simply, the taste is very close to how it smells, except toned down and with less pine and dill notes. It’s certainly very juicy and velvety, with maybe a tinge of astringency.
