Thé de printemps Lushan Yunwu

It defines the taste. The high peaks of Lu Mountain are shrouded in mist for over 190 days a year. This constant, gentle cloud cover acts as a natural filter, diffusing the sunlight. The tea plants don‘t have to work as hard, so they grow slower and focus on producing more chlorophyll (the deep green color) and amino acids (the sweet, umami flavor). That’s why this Lushan Cloud-fog Tea has that distinctive buttery texture and sweet pea flavor that you can't find anywhere else.

These leaves have a lot to give. Unlike tea bags that are spent after one use, these whole leaves will slowly unfurl over multiple infusions. We recommend at least three steeps. The first steep offers the delicate vegetal top-notes. The second steep (add 15 seconds) often brings out the buttery texture and chestnut sweetness. The third steep can reveal a subtle floral or mineral quality. It‘s a journey in a cup.

Yes, exactly. It‘s a translation preference. "Lu Shan" is the pinyin for Mount Lu, and "Yun Wu" directly translates to "Cloud and Mist." So whether you search for Lushan Yunwu, Lu Shan Yun Wu Green Tea Loose Leaf, or Cloud-Fog Green Tea, you're looking for this same prestigious tea from Jiangxi.

It‘s simple! The golden rule is COOLER WATER. Boil your water, then let it sit for 3-5 minutes. You want it hot, but not violently boiling—aim for about 175°F. Use about 2-3 grams (a heaping teaspoon) for an 8oz cup. Pour the water over the leaves and steep for just 2-3 minutes. Watch the leaves dance and unfurl! You can re-steep the same leaves 2 or 3 more times, adding 30 seconds to each subsequent steep, and taste how the flavor evolves.

Lu Shan Yun Wu Spring Tea is unique due to its origin from the mist-shrouded peaks of Mount Lushan in Jiangxi, where high-altitude, foggy conditions cultivate exceptional aromatic qualities. Its small, delicate buds are hand-plucked before the spring rains, resulting in a sweet, smooth flavor concentrated in each leaf.

To keep Lu Shan Yun Wu Spring Tea fresh, store it in a sealed, moisture-proof container in the refrigerator, avoiding light exposure. Proper storage preserves the tea’s delicate aroma and flavor, ensuring a high-quality brewing experience.

Brewing Lu Shan Yun Wu involves using about 5 grams of tea in a 300ml glass cup with water heated to 80~85°C. Pour the water slowly along the cup’s wall, wait 3-5 minutes, then enjoy the tea. It can typically be brewed three times, with each infusion releasing nuanced flavors.

This green tea offers a clean, high, and complex aroma featuring gentle orchid floral notes, fresh sweet grass, and a subtle vanilla undertone. The taste is intensely vegetal, with a soft, buttery texture and a long, sweet finish that reflects the essence of spring.

The 2026 harvest of Lu Shan Yun Wu is exceptional due to its intensely fresh fragrance, combining bright greens with warm, roasted chestnut nuances. The leaves are beautifully curled and shimmering with a deep, vibrant green, indicating high vitality and quality.
