Description ORIGIN & HARVEST TIME China, Jiangxi, Lushan, 2026 CHARACTER Lushan Yun Wu tea – or Lu Mountain Clouds and Mist – refers to the Yun Wu (Cloud and Mist) style tea from Lu Mountain. The name Yun Wu refers to the fact that the tea gardens are located in higher regions above sea level and the raw material is provided by high mountain varieties of bushes with tender leaves. In this region, the mist clouds trapped between mountain peaks provide natural shade for the plantations. The taste of the tea is formed by the natural shade and the unique processing method. Like shaded Japanese green teas, Yun Wu teas are small-leaved, dark green, aromatic and sweet types. This flavour becomes more persistent, intense and dissolvable with mild roasting and strong brewing. Because of the easier extraction, the colour is bright greenish-yellow and the texture is dense, smooth and full-bodied. The flavour is naturally sweet, reminiscent of peas, with herbaceous and thyme aromas. The aroma of the roasted tea is nutty, oily and sweet. It is a full-bodied green tea with a characteristic taste, which can be made lighter with the right dosage. Lushan, which is covered by mist and clouds all year, is considered one of the best growing areas due to its excellent soil and rainy, humid climate. Tea cultivation in this region dates back to the Jin (pronounced tyin) Dynasty (265-420), when plantation and cultivation was started by masters who practised philosophy, medicine and poetry.
