In collaboration with Anhui specialist teamaker Yuxiangzhai, we are excited to present a limited edition tasting set of fully handcrafted Anhui green teas. These are the result of several years of historical research and in-practice revival of Ming/Qing era handcraft, not only in technique but in consideration of tea within the larger context of mind-body.

You will find these present a more balanced body effect, without excessive cooling or harshness. We recommend you push these teas more than you might a typical Chinese green. Intensive steeps with off-the-boil water will reveal a lot of complexity and highlight exceptional qualities these teas have to offer. But they show just as well in a bowl or a tall glass as a more relaxed session.

A note about "wild": there is a distinction between 荒野 huangye and 野茶 yecha. Huangye can also be translated as "feral," meaning once-cultivated garden that has been left untended for a long period of time. Yecha or yeshengcha refers to properly wild plants that have seed-propagated in nature.


Suggestion: 5g / 100 ml, 85-95C.
