Mengding Huang Ya 2022

Tea has been produced on the slopes of Mengshan for centuries, and sometime in the murky past, the development of the yellowing process made this tea from the mountain's peak a special delicacy. The downy and somewhat smoothened buds yield a smooth and quite delicate soup, offering the nuttiness of soy and crunchy broccolini along with a spicy aroma evoking Sichuan pepper. A lovely tea that sits at the middle ground of the yellows, neither very roasty nor acidic, it is well worth tasting for any who wish to experience the pinnacle of all they have to offer.

Preparation

IN THE TEAPOT
  • Quantity: 6g / 500ml

GONGFU CHA METHOD
  • Quantity: 3g / 100ml
  • Water temperature: 80°C

For best results in gongfu cha, brew in the traditional gaiwan or in a Yixing teapot. Too high water temperature would burn the leaves, resulting in bitter taste.
