If you’re not drinking something that makes you happy, then you’re not drinking the right tea. This Yunnan yellow tea is likely a step in the right direction though.Temperature: 175° F
Made from fangyang (left to grow) material that is typically used for puer, this tea is sweet and smooth up front. There’s a noticeable pine and mossy fragrance that is subdued at first, but slowly takes over the mouth and throat, lingering well after you’ve finished a sip.
We highly recommend this tea for anyone new to the less-common yellow teas, as well as those in search of a long-lasting and enduring yellow tea – in other words, we recommend it for everyone (that includes you).
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 1-2 minutes
The dry leaves have a light aroma with notes of pine, moss, and sweet oats.
The aroma of the pale yellow infusion has light notes of sun-warmed moss and straw with a hint of perilla or sesame. The taste is lightly toasty and herbaceous with a long sweet finish.
The mossy and woody notes reminded me just a bit of sheng puerh. I was also reminded of the field I would play in during the warm summer months when I was very young which was an unexpected, though not unwelcome, flashback. Steeping for 2 minutes worked very well for the first infusion and I preferred a shorter 1-1.5 minute steeping time for subsequent infusions. For those who prefer something a little stronger, mild astringency developed in the second and third infusions when steeped for 2 minutes.
This tea was received as a gift from a third party.
