Sourced by Wang Yanxin

Small farmers and micro-workshops across Yunnan are often denied the chance to show off their incredible work, overshadowed by big labels. Wang Yanxin believes in small producers, helping them reach a wide audience without big brand labels.
 
The result is pristine, hand-finished tea, aged offerings and regional collaborations that inspire new styles. Wang Yanxin has devoted her career and formidable palate to these collaborations, searching far and wide for the very best.

    Even within a region as famous as Yiwu, there are certain slopes and peaks whose mineral make-up, sun exposure, and even the way they catch clouds and mist rolling across the mountains in the early morning all come together to make something even more special. Ma Hei is one of those peaks, locally famous for the rich, ridiculously honeyed tea that comes from this tiny region. This cake is as single origin as they get - focusing on such a small grove of tea trees. Jin Tai workshop has outdone themselves. Notes of camphor, whipped cream, nectarine, and sweet mint with a deep honeyed aftertaste.

Wang Yanxin also recommends:

  • 'Most pu’er does become more complex over time. Astringency mellows out, darker and richer flavors come through. Textural complexities become more pronounced. Starting with an intriguing young pu’er of high quality with lots of textures and flavors at play will increase your chances of graceful aging.'
