Yun Wu (云雾) is a green tea whose name means "Clouds and Mist." It recalls the growing conditions: high-mountain plantations are often wrapped in damp fog, which is believed to help the leaf develop a delicate taste and rich aroma. The tea comes from Fujian province.
The aroma of Yun Wu unfolds gradually: the dry leaf smells of dried fruit and steamed nuts, and after the rinse come notes of hay and pecan. This is a tea for thoughtful, unhurried tea time, when you want to follow how the flavor changes from infusion to infusion.

Western-style brewing (teapot or heat-resistant mug):
