Made from the sun-dried buds and leaves from the “ye sheng” varietal wild tea growing in the mountains of Yong De! This 5kg tael tea (log) was hand-made using a bamboo frame and a rope to compress it! Aged for 10 years this tea has developed into something entirely unique. Thick ye sheng vegetal sweetness meets floral pine sweetness to create a incredibly textured and bold tea!
Whole 5kg log available for purchase, as well as lesser quantities. Please sample first before buying a whole log or even a larger quantity! It’s a great tea, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea!
