Description

ORIGIN & HARVEST TIME

China, Yunnan, Simao, 2025

CHARACTER

Yunnan’s earliest harvested green tea, which has a very strong, full-bodied, vegetal flavour and sunshine aroma although it is not considered an expensive tea.  It’s a really vibrant tea, similar like sheng puer and maocha, but not fermented. The infusion is very rich in umami and corn taste with green herbs aroma, like a delicious vegetable soup.

Green tea cultivation in Yunnan has a history of only a few decades. During the Japanese occupation and the Second World War, harvesting in the eastern provinces, which traditionally produced green tea, was difficult. Tea officials were therefore sent from Beijing to Yunnan, the only province not affected by international conflicts, to try to produce green-style teas (e.g. bi luo chun) from local varieties. Buds were collected from all over Yunnan, and the result was great! Yunnan green teas are usually characterised by strong green spices and tropical fruit-like aromas. The green teas of Yunnan province are renowned for their strong, green herbal aroma and the strength of the tea, often reminiscent of puer tea.
