Yunnan White Tea is a white tea made from wild arbor tea trees in Xigui, Yunnan Province — a very different growing environment from the typical Fujian white teas. Where Fujian white teas tend toward delicate and floral, Yunnan's ancient trees produce something bolder: citrus and woody notes with a hint of mint and a honey-like sweetness underneath.

This 2021 spring harvest is compressed into small biscuit-shaped pieces — a piece for each gongfu brewing session. The arbor trees grow naturally without pesticides, and their deep root systems draw up minerals that you can taste in the cup. Four years of ageing has smoothed out the tea's character while keeping its distinctive Yunnan personality.

How it tastes

More structured than a typical white tea. You'll notice citrus first, then a woody quality and a hay-like freshness. The honey sweetness comes through as an aftertaste and builds with later infusions. If you're used to Fujian white teas and want something different, this Yunnan version might surprise you.

Racheal from Adelaide tried a sample when she was visiting Hobart and had to reorder online afterwards — she said it's become one of her favourites. We hear this a lot with the Yunnan White Tea. It's different enough from typical white teas that people remember it.

A note from Joanne: "Yunnan white teas have a distinct character that comes from those old arbor trees — there's a depth and body you don't get from bush-grown tea. I like to brew this one with slightly hotter water than I'd use for Silver Needles or White Peony. It can handle it, and the heat brings out the honey notes. If you've only tried Fujian white teas, this Yunnan version is worth exploring — it's a different experience."

Curious how different white teas compare? Our Fujian Wild White Peony ($29) is a good contrast — lighter and more floral where this Yunnan tea is bold and structured.

Soft & Moist
Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2), Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Tried this from a Sam’s Club combo pack of the jerky and like but size nugget deals. LOVED the jerky enough to figure out if I can order just big regular size bags of the jerky. And you can. And I did. The quality of the big bag of jerky is as good, wonderful, soft, moist, as the little small snack size bags I tried to Sam’s Club. If you like soft jerky that is not super chewy, and that does not get stuck in your teeth unless you are really trying, I would definitely recommend this

The G.O.A.T.
Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I first found Golden Island Korean BBQ Jerry at Costco years ago, and I've been eating it off and on since then. (Except for lately, when I've been taking a small bag of it to work almost every day.) First of all, I don't like jerky as a rule, it's too tough and hard to eat. This, though, is tender and yummy (technical term). The garlic is just enough, too strong for before coffee, but perfect the rest of the day. I love the sweetness that plays off of the soy sauce. Looks like I find this my current favorite snack.
