Origin
Description
Origin: Jinggu county, Yunnan province, China
Cultivar: Da Huang Ya “Big Yellow Bud”
Elevation: 1,400m
Harvest: March 25-30, 2021
This tea is from the rare single-cultivar Da Huang Ya, or “Big Yellow Buds,” grown in Jinggu county, Yunnan. Several years ago we worked with partners to graft the Da Huang Ya cultivar onto older existing rootstock, a technique used in wine cultivation. We’ve been thrilled to see the successful results as the plants spring back with renewed vigor. Da Huang Ya yields large, plump buds that provide a long-lasting sweetness with a unique amino acid profile, creating a nuanced savory character. The infusion is imbued with the most radiant yellow-gold tints. This year’s vintage has subtly sweet notes of floral nectar, honey and wildflowers.

Subtle and Sweet
This tea has jumped to the top of my list as a favorite. More subtle than a moonlight white tea, this
...
version is absolute perfection. It is not a tea that will knock you over with overpowering taste, but it will delight you with its lingering sweetness and deeply meditative nature. Nothing better than sitting down with a good book and sipping this wonderful tea. Also works great cold brewed.
