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 that has been known since ancient times. Its poetic name reflects the growing conditions - high-mountain plantations, often shrouded in humid fog, which is believed to contribute to the formation of the delicate taste and rich aroma of the tea leaves. Yun Wu comes from the Fujian province (福建, Fújiàn). It is valued for its unique aroma, pleasant taste and harmonizing effect.
Aroma: complex and evolving
The aroma of Yun Wu is a separate story that unfolds gradually.
- Dry leaf: Bright and balanced, it intrigues with a complex bouquet, where you can catch notes of dried fruits, the aroma of steamed nuts and even a specific shade of wild berries fermented in a linden tub. The aroma of dry leaf can be compared to the smell of a flower garden after rain.
- Washed leaf/infusion: After a short contact with hot water (washing), the aroma is supplemented with new shades: tones of dried herbs, stacked in a haystack, and pecan nuts appear. The aroma of the infusion is difficult to convey in words, individual for each person.
Taste and infusion: lightness and balance
The infusion of Yun Wu tea is transparent 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, typical of many green teas, which appears 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 light bitterness, turning into nuances of dried fruits. The tea is quite stable in brewing, holds up to 5 steepings.
Effect and mood
Yun Wu is a tea for harmony and good mood. It gently tones, helps to drive away melancholy, calms and harmonizes the internal state, lifts the mood.
