My husband and I are new to gongfu brewing and more complex teas. I spent a lot of time exploring the information and teas shared on the Yunnan Sourcing website before submitting our first YS order. Our box arrived yesterday. The website, our interim interactions with Scott and his team, and the great care and generosity that went into the packaging of our purchases and Inclusion of free samples won us over completely before we even tasted any tea. Based on YS’s write-up of the Fuding Shou Mei White Tea in a King Orange (2018) and the helpfully descriptive reviews posted by others, my husband and I chose this tea as the first from YS to brew this morning. It was a delicious, fragrant, easy-to-brew and gentle introduction to this new world: citrusy, sweet, with a menthol-like sensation that gave a clean finish. We really love this tea and Yunnan Sourcing and highly recommend both.

I love Scott And white tea. So I bought white tea from Scott. Can’t complaint.

I made this in a gaiwan with 100C water, using the whole orange broken in half. It is an extremely pleasant tea to drink, quite mild but with a lot of subtle flavours, and the citrus taste imparted by the king orange is an amazing counterpoint. I was very curious and unsure what to expect when I purchased this tea but I highly recommend it!

The tea is present at first, later infusions bring more citrus and a nice cooling effect. A little bitterness and fresh taste of white tea

Smooth, sweet, creamy, citrusy. Love it! Used a whole orange, 95C water, 150ml gaiwan, at 5th infusion and still lovely.
