Yunnan Green Dynasty Tea

Description

Yunnan Green Dynasty Tea by Health Embassy is a premium loose leaf green tea sourced from the revered Yunnan province in China, known globally as one of the oldest and most significant tea-producing regions. This tea is valued for its vibrant green leaves, smooth taste, and aromatic complexity. Carefully collected and gently dried to preserve freshness, it offers a clear infusion with subtle vegetal notes, making it a staple for any tea enthusiast looking to explore the depth of Chinese green teas.

A Heritage Rooted in Yunnan’s Tea Tradition

The Yunnan province in southwestern China is often regarded as the birthplace of tea. For thousands of years, the region’s mountainous terrain, rich soil, and favourable climate have contributed to its status as a premium tea-producing area. Yunnan Green Dynasty Tea is harvested from high-altitude tea gardens where the leaves grow slowly, allowing them to develop nuanced flavour profiles and retain high aromatic intensity. Unlike many mass-produced green teas, this tea is collected and hand-packed with care.

Appearance, Aroma, and Taste

The dry leaves of Yunnan Green Dynasty Tea are typically long, wiry, and slightly curled, displaying vibrant shades of green with silver or golden tips depending on the specific batch. Once brewed, the tea produces a pale golden-green liquor that is clear and inviting. This tea is suitable for both daily enjoyment and more focused tasting sessions, offering an accessible yet sophisticated experience.

Brewing Instructions

This tea is well-suited to everyday brewing, requiring no specialised equipment to enjoy its deep, malty character.

How to Brew:

• Use 1–2 teaspoons of loose tea leaves per 250 ml of water.

• Heat fresh water to around 80–85°C (do not boil).

• Steep the leaves for 2–3 minutes.

• Strain and serve.

The leaves can often be reinfused 2–3 times, with each infusion revealing different layers of flavour. Reduce the steeping time slightly with each subsequent brew.

Tips for a Better Brew

• Use filtered water to preserve the tea’s delicate, natural flavour without introducing impurities.

• Avoid oversteeping, as green tea can develop unwanted bitterness if left too long in hot water.

• Store Yunnan Green Dynasty Tea in its original resealable pouch or an airtight container, and keep it in a cool, dry place away from light, heat, and moisture to maintain its freshness and aroma.

Ideal Pairings and Blending Suggestions

Yunnan Green Dynasty Tea features a smooth, balanced flavour profile that blends effortlessly with both complementary foods and select botanicals. This makes it a versatile base for creating custom infusions using ingredients from the Health Embassy collection. By pairing it with the right herbs or fruits, you can enrich both the taste and aromatic complexity of your cup.

Suitable Herbal Additions:

• Rose Petals – Offering a soft, floral aroma and delicate sweetness, Rose Petals not only enhance the flavour but also add visual elegance to your blend.

• Hibiscus Flower – Known for its vivid red hue and tangy flavour, Hibiscus lends a tart contrast that pairs beautifully with the tea’s natural smoothness.

• Elderberry Dried Fruit – Contributing gentle, fruity richness, Elderberries add depth and subtle sweetness, resulting in a more rounded infusion.

• Lavender Flower – With its soothing floral fragrance and calming notes, lavender creates a fragrant and tranquil cup when combined with the tea’s grassy base.

• Chamomile Flowers – Offers mellow sweetness and a mild floral finish that pairs well with green tea.

• Sweet Woodruff Herb – Contributes a hint of vanilla-like aroma, enhancing smoothness.

These thoughtfully selected additions allow you to tailor each brew to your taste preferences while enjoying a more diverse and satisfying herbal tea experience. You may also consider enhancing your infusion with dried lemon peel, or apple pieces, if you enjoy exploring more vibrant and refreshing combinations. Each pairing adds its own nuance, making Yunnan Green Dynasty Tea an excellent foundation for daily experimentation and seasonal creativity.

Blending with Other Teas and Herbs

This tea also serves as a versatile foundation for mixing with other teas and gentle herbs, expanding its flavour potential and allowing for seasonal or daily variation.

• Other Green or White Teas – Can be blended for a layered infusion with increased depth or subtle variation.

• Light Oolong Teas – Adds mild complexity and floral undertones without overpowering the original flavour.
