2021 Wild Yunnan Ancient Tree Black Tea

Introducing our rare and premium Wild Yunnan Black Tea – a tea that captures the essence of Yunnan’s ancient, wild tea forests. Sourced from untamed, old-growth tea trees deep in the region, this tea is incredibly hard to find due to its rarity and the meticulous hand-plucking of only the finest leaves and buds. These wild trees grow naturally, untouched by human hands, which imparts a unique depth and complexity to the tea that is hard to match.

The aroma is beautifully sweet and citrusy, with notes of lemon and tangerine, complemented by a delicate hint of orange blossom. There’s also a subtle saltiness that enhances its flavor complexity, with a cooling, light to medium body that’s refreshing from start to finish. The aftertaste is smooth and cooling, with no bitterness or astringency, making it a truly refined experience.

We highly recommend brewing this tea gongfu style, using 5g of tea in a 100-120ml gaiwan or teapot, and steeping with boiling water. Rinse quickly and infuse for about 40 seconds on the first brew. Drop the steeping time to 15 seconds on the second brew. Add 5 seconds for additional brew. What’s more, this tea can be steeped a minimum of 8 times before it begins to lose its complexity, ensuring each session is a rewarding experience.

One of the standout qualities of this tea is how easy it is to brew. Even when using the casual “grandpa style,” where you simply drop the leaves in your mug and add hot water, it remains smooth without ever turning bitter. This makes it perfect for both seasoned tea drinkers and beginners alike.

Wild Yunnan Black Tea is a rare find, offering a sweet, citrusy, floral, and lightly salty profile with a refreshing, cooling texture that lingers. It’s the perfect tea to enjoy when you want a touch of luxury, whether you’re at home or on the go.
