Frequently Asked Questions
Why Tea Connoisseurs Are Talking About Purple Bud Tea？
Unlike the bold, earthy notes of aged Pu-erh, these Wild Yunnan Buds offer a delicate and refined profile. Because they are harvested as the buds first awaken in Spring, they possess a remarkable sweetness and softness that is highly sought after by collectors.
Why are some of the buds not entirely purple? I see "Yellow Buds."
Excellent observation! The color can vary slightly based on the exact micro-climate and the specific wild tea tree (remember, these are naturally occurring, not farmed clones). Some buds may be deeply purple, while others might appear as "Yellow Buds" or a mix of green and gold. This variance is actually a hallmark of a truly wild, non-cultivated harvest. It proves that you are getting a raw, natural product straight from the high-altitude forests, rather than a farm-standardized product. The flavor consistency—that sweet, floral magic—remains the hallmark of the "Purple Bud" experience.
What does it taste like? I heard it tastes like gingerbread?
It’s truly unique. The moment the hot water hits the buds, you get an incredible aroma of wildflower honey and a hint of spicy ginger. The taste, however, is incredibly clean. There is a distinct note of fresh pine and a finish that tea drinkers often describe as a "marshmallow sweetness" or the cooling sensation of licking a smooth, wet river stone. It’s purely natural—no additives, just the magic of the old trees
