Meng Ding Huang Ya (Yellow Buds from Mengding Mountain), 2021

Mengding Mountains tea producing culture is more then 2000 years old. The first tea garden was set here during West Han Dynasty (II century BC). Since VIII century Mengding “Tea of Immortals” had been included into Imperial tribute list and next twelve centuries it was being delivered to the Emperors court. Now days Mengding tea masters are proud to be able to produce any tea variety. They really produce tea as an art. At the end of XX century they mastered the “yellow stewing” technology. The producing process includes the enveloping tea in special paper and long-lasting warming over hot charcoals covered in ash. The result is great. A new famous China tea variety appeared.
