Ye Sheng Hong Ya Bao (Wild Red Buds)
A rare wild bud tea from the Dali highlands, made not from leaves but from the dormant spring buds of wild Camellia taliensis trees. This is the oxidised red style: a deep amber cup, honey-sweet with dried fruit and a resinous pine note, and naturally low in caffeine.
