From Yunnan Sourcing

This is a Spring 2022 harvested from You Le mountain! Instead of being processed into Pu-erh tea, it was processed into a spectacular white tea!

You Le Mountain (aka Ji Nuo mountain 基诺山) is situated east of Jing Hong city about halfway between Jing Hong and Yi Wu. The tea was picked and processed entirely by hand by the growers themselves in a protected area (国有林) near the village of Sheng Niu (生牛). The tea is tippy and healthy and is coveredRead more

A very good white tea that is on the bitter and savoury side of the spectrum.

The aroma is sweet and flowery, but it also reminds me of fur, apricots, and autumn leaf pile.

The first infusion is a bit grassy and warming with a cooling finish. Second one is quite bitter with notes of bark, moss, and grape skins. Later I found also flavours of lamb meat and bread crust.

The tea has a soft mouthfeel and medium body. Its aftertaste is long, sweet, and fragrant with a numbing mouthfeel. There are notes of herbs (sage), white wine, and florals.
