BIT MORE INFORMATION:
Huang Shan Ya green tea originates from the misty slopes of Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) in China’s Anhui province, a region renowned for its pristine air, mineral-rich soil, and centuries-old tea traditions. The name itself reflects the tea’s connection to this UNESCO World Heritage site, where some of China’s most prized teas are cultivated.
This tea is made from high-grade green tea leaves, which are lightly steamed to preserve their fresh, grassy character. The leaves are then gently infused with the scent of jasmine blossoms, a process traditionally done by layering the tea with freshly picked flowers overnight. The flowers are replaced multiple times to deepen the aroma without overpowering the tea’s natural flavour.
The result is a rich, lemony liquor with a delicate jasmine fragrance, offering a smooth and calming cup. Known for its digestive benefits, Huang Shan Ya is often enjoyed after meals and is prized for its ability to refresh the palate and soothe the senses.

What Makes It Special
Made from the finest steamed green tea leaves, this tea is naturally infused with fresh jasmine flowers, traditionally layered with the leaves overnight. The result? A subtle, aromatic brew that balances floral sweetness with vegetal freshness.
Origin & Craft
Traditionally crafted in Fujian province, China, where jasmine blossoms are harvested at dusk and added to green tea while still warm from the steaming process. This careful method preserves both the floral aroma and natural antioxidants of the leaf.
