Description

TEA STORY

Chinese name: Ye Sheng Dian Hong 野生滇红

A high standard was applied to this Chinese red -Dian Hong tea from cultivation to production. It has been nurtured on a sustainable tea plantation of a mountain range (1600-2400m), which provides the ultimate natural and undisturbed environment for the growth of ancient tea trees. Only the leaves that qualified for the ‘1 bud & 2 leaves’ standard were plucked for production. It then goes to the hands of tea specialists to produce the final product. Most of them have over 20 years of tea-making experience. The dry leaves have a dark appearance which is a speciality of tea produced from wild tea trees.

 

This tea belongs to our Yìn 印 | TRACE collection.

Brewing instructions

Steeping

3g | 100ml | 95°C | 5s

We recommend a steeping temperature of 95 °C (205 °F), where you can set the boiling water aside and allow it to cool down for less than a minute. Then take 3 grams of tea with 100ml water to steep for 5 seconds, and increase to 10 seconds after steeping for 3 times. The tea can be re-steeped 5-7 times when using a tea egg, filter bag, or Chinese Gaiwan/Yixing teapot.

You can always adjust the quantity and brewing time based on your preference. When using a larger container like a tea pot, you can take a small quantity and leave it in for a few minutes.

Cold brew

5g | 750ml | 5 °C | 8 – 12 hrs

Use 5 grams of tea with 750ml of cold water. Place it in the fridge and let it steep for 8-12 hours. After that, strain the tea. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

We recommend preparing it either in the evening before bed or in the morning, so you can enjoy it throughout the day. If you plan to keep the tea in the bottle for a longer time, consider using less tea to prevent it from becoming too strong.

I have fallen in love with the smoothness of this tea

I found this tea on a fair where they were selling it. Immediately I fell in love with the smooth smells.
Just like the smell the flavor was very smooth and full. I sadly couldn't find out where to buy more until recently. I'm so happy I found yin cha again I will be looking forward to my next order.
