Winter 1st Flush Yunnan Green – Early-Harvest Umami Green TeaWinter 1st Flush Yunnan Green is a very unique, very early winter-spring harvest — we believe it's among the very first green tea harvests of the year anywhere. This select Yunnan green tea is grown along the Liuluo River in southern China, where a mild climate allows the tea plants to produce tender new leaves remarkably early. The traditional firewood method is used to halt enzyme activity, preserving the tea's brilliant green color while adding a wonderful, gentle smoky note. The result is a highly aromatic, umami-sweet green tea with a character all its own. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItThis rare first-flush tea lets you taste the very beginning of the new tea season. Its combination of umami sweetness and a subtle smoky warmth makes it truly distinctive, and it's a wonderfully smooth, satisfying cup.
How to EnjoyBrew it in a gaiwan or glass to appreciate its brilliant color, and enjoy multiple infusions. It pairs beautifully with Chinese dishes, grilled vegetables and light snacks, and is a fascinating tea to share with fellow tea enthusiasts. Fresh, sweet and delightfully unique, Winter 1st Flush Yunnan Green is the first taste of a new tea year. Enjoy! |

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
