Yesheng (wild) Black Tea

This Yesheng (野生, wild) black tea is a rare treasure harvested from wild tea trees growing in the rugged, untouched landscape of Wuyishan (武夷山), Fujian, China. Renowned for its biodiversity, Wuyishan’s lush forests, rich vegetation, and clear mountain streams create the perfect environment for wild tea cultivation. These naturally resilient plants absorb the essence of their surroundings, resulting in a tea with a full-bodied flavor, dried fruit notes, and a complex, earthy sweetness that speaks to its wild origin.

The tea is crafted using a delicate traditional method. Hand-harvested leaves undergo withering, rolling, oxidation, and firing, with the level of oxidation determining the tea’s color and flavor intensity. The result is a complex flavor profile, with hints of fruit, floral fragrance, and a subtle smokiness. Wuyishan’s unique mineral-rich terroir further imparts a distinct depth and character to this wild red tea, making each sip a layered and evolving experience.

Lingxi, a renowned tea maker, brings deep knowledge of the local environment and a meticulous approach to every step of production. Her artistry is evident in the tea’s vibrant color, refined aroma, and silky texture. This wild black tea is not only a reflection of Wuyishan’s natural beauty but also a testament to Lingxi’s craftsmanship and passion, offering tea lovers a truly authentic and unforgettable experience.
