Our essential Yiwu offering each year, this tea is highly fragrant, with a soft character and pleasant sweetness. Although we use the exact same traditionally processed material each year, this tea provides an excellent opportunity for vertical tasting of the same land. This has been demonstrated with our Monkey through Rabbit cakes, which carry nuanced differences year on year due to the differences in weather. It was yet another dry year in Yunnan, but the 2024 version of this tea maintains much of what we expected, with lower bitterness/astringency, great fragrance, and a nice honey sweetness. If anything, this year could lean into that sweetness more than others. Our experience storing this tea over the last 10+ years has been the development of even more noticeable honey and fruit notes within 3-5 years. Based on this experience and feedback from customers, we’re confident in this tea for long-term storage. In previous years (2017-2018) we tested this tea against the EU Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) of 191 and 440+ pesticides, both passing with ease. Although this particular year’s tea has not been tested, the tea is from the same land and our confidence in this tea and relationship with the farmer remains strong. If you would like a copy of the lab results for previous years, please contact us. This year’s wrapper features artwork by Chile based artist and illustrator, Pablo Lineros.
