  • Description

    A highlight of our 2023 spring sourcing trip, this mostly undiscovered yellow tea dates back to the Tang dynasty. With production now revitalised with modern techniques, you'll find candied lemon, barley and a laid-back green-ish character.

    Skilled tea masters have been making their version of yellow tea in Beigang, Yueyang City, in Hunan, for centuries. Until recently, it's mostly been unknown outside its local area. Master Wang Yueshi is one of the few locals working hard to revitalise Beigang Yellow Tea as a counterpoint to the more famous Jun Shan Silver Needle from the same region. It packs a brighter punch compared to Jun Shan with its citrus sweetness.
