This Lincang yabao captures that early spring moment when the forest is just waking up. Wildflower fragrance and notes of young pine needles come through, alongside a touch of lychee. The floral character is prominent, backed by the amino acid brightness you get from fresh spring material. The tea is refreshing and easy to drink, with a clear soup that looks deceptively light for how much flavor it carries, which could easily be mistaken for water. Made from the buds of yet-to-be-formed branches, yabao differs from conventional tea with a different amino acid profile, as well as reduced caffeine content compared to proper tea made with leaves. In typical fashion, this yabao is processed in white tea style, maintaining a clean and approachable character. $0.13-0.18/gram Picking Period: January 2026 Region: Lincang, Yunnan
