This renowned yellow tea was first grown in Anhui province, and its name means "golden buds of mount Huo". Its delicate crop is harvested early in the year, before the Qingming festival (early April), and gives it unparalleled freshness and complexity. A rare treasure.

A rare spring yellow tea boasting floral and fresh hazelnut notes and an exquisitely thick texture. This sumptuous new season tea is truly unforgettable.
