Description:
Yabao is one of the most intriguing teas out there. Picked from compact winter buds, young Yabao is light in body but wonderfully nuanced. Unlike any other teas, the buds are picked from ancient tea trees in middle to late winter when the bud is still tightly compacted and encased in a protective shell as it awaits spring. This particular Yabao is composed of very large buds that have not begun to open yet and allowed to sun dry completely without any other processing, making this more similar to yellow or white tea than to pu’er.
Our Wild Purple Buds Puerh comes from Yunnan, China. The buds of this tea are purple, green, and yellow. Purple buds indicate a higher level of anthocyanin (a flavoniod). This flavonoid usually causes bitterness but does not in this case as this is a smooth puerh. Our puerh has light smoked oak notes with honey and floral notes and has a juicy mouthfeel.


Brewing guide:
Use 1 tablespoon per 6 oz cup/pot or or (3-4 grams of tea per 8 oz of water). Heat water until boiling. Let steep 3-4 minutes. Good for multiple infusions. Add a little more time for each subsequent infusion. Yabao is super forgiving in steeping, great hot or iced, and rich with aging potential to keep growing in depth and complexity.
