Delicate, ethereal, and profoundly rare, Yuhua Cloud Silk is an example of the elegance that yellow tea can offer when nurtured by high mountain terroir and crafted with precision. Grown in the mist-veiled highlands of Yunnan Province, cradled by forested peaks and nourished by mineral-rich mountain springs, this tea is produced in extremely limited quantities and remains one of the most elusive treasures in the world of fine tea.
Yellow tea is a lesser-known gem outside of China, often regarded as a subtler cousin to green tea, yet with a rounder body, deeper sweetness, and a signature slow-fire processing that softens grassy edges and enhances aromatic complexity. Yuhua Cloud Silk is a “tippy” yellow tea, composed almost entirely of young, downy buds that were harvested by hand in early spring at their most tender stage.
Naturally high in L-theanine, Yuhua Cloud Silk promotes a calming, focused energy that makes it a perfect companion for meditation, creative work, or quiet contemplation.
Upon steeping, the liquor releases a uniquely comforting and complex bouquet. At first sip, you’ll appreciate the taste of sweet steamed corn, followed by warm honey-orchid and a whisper of cooling mint that emerges as the tea opens. This is tea as silk, smooth, rare, and flowing with grace.
