2023 First Flush High Mountain Yunwu | Green Tea

High-mountain Yunwu 云雾 from Baiyun Mountain 白云山 in Hunan — a Mingqian first flush from 2023. We came to this garden through a family connection, tried a small lot, and kept coming back for it: a lesser-known origin with strong value and a cup we actually like drinking.

It shows a grassy, vegetal fragrance with a smooth, slightly nutty sweetness and a gentle umami that stays tender on the finish. It is not a famous-name green trading on reputation; it is simply a clean spring Yunwu that earns its place.

This 2023 lot is still the one we reach for when we want mountain green without the costume.

Ming Qian means harvested before Qing Ming Festival and the rainy spring season (4th April on the Lunar calendar). After a long winter, the tea tree rests and grows slowly, yielding leaves with more umami and sweetness. The buds and leaves of the tea picked during this time will be relatively tender, giving it all the qualities you would ask for for a green tea: umami, fresh, sweet after taste.
