Ya Bao
Wild Tea Buds
A varietal of Camellia that sprouts from the small twigs of wild tea trees grown in western Yunnan. The large pine-cone shaped buds are picked in late March and sun dried. Though similar to white tea, Yao Bao is distinguished by a sweet and fresh flavor that stands alone in the world of tea. The brewed liquor is pale white and clear, with a hint of fresh pine needles in the aroma.
