Features of Yunnan Province
Yunnan is one of the most famous tea provinces in China, famous for its ancient tea plantations and favorable climate conditions. Clean air, fertile soils and a moderate climate create ideal conditions for the growth of tea trees. Tea from Yunnan is distinguished by its rich taste, bright aroma and balanced character.
Features of the Gushu variety
Gushu (古树, gǔshù) tea trees are ancient trees that can be hundreds of years old. They have a strong root system that allows them to absorb more nutrients from the soil, giving the tea a special depth of flavor and aroma.
Characteristics of Gushu Inya tea

The taste of tea is light and delicate. The infusion has a transparent light yellow color. The taste is dominated by warm notes of honey, fresh fruits and light herbal freshness. The aftertaste is long, with pleasant sweetish and floral shades.

Brewing recommendations
To brew Gushu Yinya, it is recommended to use the steeping method in a gaiwan or glass teapot. The water temperature should be around 85–90°C. The first steeps should be short (10–15 seconds) to reveal the aroma and avoid excessive bitterness. Gradually, the steeping time can be increased. The tea can withstand up to 5–7 steeps, each of which reveals new facets of taste.
