Yiwu Purple Huang Pian

For this Zhuancha we used Huang Pian from Yiwu, harvested in 2007, containing rare purple tea leaves. This special tea has been carefully stored for nearly 20 years by tea master Panda, allowing it to develop an exceptionally refined and nuanced character.

Huang Pian material like this consists of the larger, older yellow leaves sorted out during Pu-Erh processing. The result is a tea that is notably mellow, sweet, and uniquely aromatic, offering both an extraordinary tasting experience and excellent value compared to the original material.

This tea was stored since 2007 in Yunnan by tea master Panda in Xishuangbanna and is as ripe as it can get.
