A very gentle, relaxing session with one of last year’s tea club entries. A taste of springtime.

- Harvested and processed on March 17, this Meng Ding Huang Ya (lit. Meng Ding Yellow Bud) is a rare yellow tea with a tender, delicate texture. Since it is composed solely of tea buds and uses very complex processing techniques, the quantity of authentic Meng Ding Huang Ya is extremely limited, and the tea quality on the market varies widely. Flavors: hazelnut, vanilla, cream, toasty
