- Description
- Wuliangshan is a well-known mountain in Nanjian Yi Autonomous County, famous not only for its tea production but also as a popular sightseeing destination. One of its highlights is the Cherry Blossom Valley, a breathtaking site that attracts numerous visitors each year. This tea is grown near the Cherry Blossom Valley, where tea trees were planted a few decades ago using the Yun Kang No. 10 cultivar. This cultivar was selectively bred by the Yunnan Province Academy of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Tea from tea trees originally found in Nannuoshan. Recognized as a national-level cultivar in 1987, Yun Kang No. 10 is one of only five cultivars in Yunnan to receive this distinction. The tea is harvested primarily from the first harvest of spring, following the one bud, two leaves picking standard. Since its production in 2022, it has been aged in our Chengdu warehouse in loose-leaf form until August 2025, when it was sent to Kunming, Yunnan, to be rolled into 7-gram dragon balls.
Shipped in February 2023

This was a wonderful white tea experience and much needed after my Yin Zhen Silver Needle debacle from last week. 😂

Not exciting but a nice background work tea. Focused and not jittery. Needs to be boiled. Sugary at the boil temp

I’m not a big fan of white tea, but this is one of the few that pleasantly surprised me with its mellow floral frangance and hints of grapes
