Lei Da Shan - Spring 2025

Corn-sweet, floral and nutty, with the weight and tannic structure of large-leaf Yun Nan material softened by yellow-tea processing. The cup carries depth and a long aftertaste.

The making

The success of last year’s yellow tea from Wu Liang Shan gave us great encouragement! We decided to make another batch using even more expensive raw leaves, this time from Lei Da Shan of Ge Lang He. In addition to the classic corn note one would expect from a sophisticated yellow tea, this batch is also satisfyingly floral with hints of nuttiness. It’s long lingering aftertaste once again exhibits the unparalleled depth of the large leaves from trunk-style tea trees in the ancient tea mountains of Yun Nan.
