2026 Yongde Ye Sheng Hong

Reference:

. .

Wild tea trees from Ming Feng Shan in Yongde county. The leaves haven't gone through any artificial heat processing but simply being dried on the sun , which promotes fruitiness and partial ageing typical for "shai hong" style tea. Obvious sweet-sour notes of wild tea leaves which can be brewed longer with smaller amounts without being worried of any discomforting taste. 250g comes in gift box.

Perfect summer sipping

I'm kicking myself for only ordering a sample! This tea is a delightful ye sheng. The sour wild tree flavor pairs beautifully with the fruitiness (I'd even say citrus) flavor that is unique to the Yong De area. Overall, there's an impression of lemon which is incredible. It is a refreshing tea, excellent for summer sipping.

I haven't tried to make it into iced tea, nor have I tried "modern" brewing (larger volume, fewer leaves, longer brewing). I've only had this gongfu style, & it is so good. Since it's a hong ("black/red") tea, it takes higher temperatures & longer steeping times extremely well.

I'm only using 3.3g in my 120ml teapot, and that is the perfect amount.
