Yun Wu (云雾) – Poetry of Clouds and Mist in a Cup of Green Tea
Yun Wu (云雾, Yúnwù), whose name translates as "Clouds and Mist," is a high-quality Chinese green tea renowned since ancient times. Its poetic name reflects its growing conditions—high-altitude plantations often shrouded in moist mist, which is believed to foster the delicate flavor and rich aroma of the tea leaves. Yun Wu originates from the Fujian province (福建, Fújiàn). It is prized for its unique aroma, pleasant taste, and harmonizing properties.
Aroma: complex and evolving
The aroma of Yun Wu is a separate story that unfolds gradually.
- Dried Leaf: Vibrant and balanced, it intrigues with a complex bouquet, revealing notes of dried fruit, the aroma of steamed nuts, and even a distinctive hint of wild berries fermented in a linden tub. The aroma of dried leaf can be compared to the scent of a flower garden after rain.
- Washed leaf/infusion: After a brief contact with hot water (rinsing), the aroma develops new nuances: notes of dried herbs, stacked in a haystack, and pecans emerge. The aroma of the infusion is difficult to convey in words, unique to each individual.
Taste and infusion: lightness and balance
Yun Wu tea infusion is clear and light yellow. The taste is light and velvety. It harmoniously combines:
- Notes of rustic dried herbs.
- Shades of raw nuts and dried fruits.
- A slight bitterness, characteristic of many green teas, emerges quickly but is just as quickly replaced by a pleasant sweetness. The taste is sweet, fresh, and delicate.
The aftertaste is refreshing and relaxed, with the same slight bitterness that lingers into dried fruit nuances. The tea is quite stable when steeped, holding up to five times.
Effect and mood
Yun Wu is a tea for harmony and good mood. It gently invigorates, helps dispel melancholy, calms and harmonizes the inner state, and lifts the spirits.
Brewing recommendations
To prepare this delicate green tea we recommend:
- Water: Relatively low temperature – 75-80°C.
- Amount of tea: 3-5 grams of dry leaf per teapot.
- Utensils: A porcelain gaiwan or glass flask/teapot is best to avoid overheating the leaves and to observe the color of the infusion.
- Method: Steep brewing, starting with short exposures.
