{"product_id":"wild-tree-yunnan-red-tea","title":"Wild Tree Yunnan Red","description":"\u003cp class=\"tea-summary\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea is both a rechristening and an upgrade to our iconic Old Tree Yunnan Red. The wild in its name refers to the old grove of wild \u003cem\u003ecamellia taliensis\u003c\/em\u003e trees used to craft this tea. We’ve chosen only the smallest leaves, creating a liqueur that is strikingly bright and candy-like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWild Tree Yunnan Red was grown in Fengqing County, Yunnan. This region boasts China's most ancient tea trees – some hundreds of years old, with deep root structures that allow for high absorption of nutrients and minerals from the soil. This varietal is known fondly as \u003cem\u003ehong ku\u003c\/em\u003e, or “red pants” by the indigenous people who harvest its leaves. Over the centuries, \u003cem\u003ehong ku\u003c\/em\u003e has adapted to the local ecological environment and, as a result, these trees are resistant to most pests and diseases and require neither watering nor fertilizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea is a labor of love from a producer with a passion for crafting delicious heritage teas. Wild Tree Yunnan Red is harvested in early April 2024, then shade-withered to bring out its innate clarity and sweetness. With a deft nurturing hand, the leaves are bruised, oxidized, and pan-roasted in small batches. The resultant maocha, or unfinished tea, is wrapped in canvas and baked over charcoal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe received this tea in late summer of 2025, hand have been holding on to it to mellow, sweeten, and increase in complexity. While this tea will deepen with time, our earlier release this year showcases its bright, effervescent character - one that will deepen over time. It brews sweet and fragrant, with liquor the color of Chinese lacquerware. Wild Tree Yunnan Red's flavor profile is decidedly juicy, a remarkable amalgamation of sweet vermouth, hawthorn flakes, and blackberry honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"brew-detail\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Song Tea","offers":[{"title":"30g pouch","offer_id":29843850362968,"sku":"r-0018-30g","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60g pouch","offer_id":29843850395736,"sku":"r-0018-60g","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120g pouch","offer_id":29843850428504,"sku":"r-0018-120g","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"240g pouch","offer_id":29843850461272,"sku":"r-0018-240g","price":156.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Kraft Canister | 60g","offer_id":29843850494040,"sku":"r-0018-gc-60g","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single brew | 5g","offer_id":43175549042901,"sku":"r-0018-single-5g","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30g pouch | 2024 crop","offer_id":53460384153813,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1728\/6899\/products\/r-0018-wtyr-1.jpg?v=1569210441","url":"https:\/\/songtea.mom\/products\/wild-tree-yunnan-red-tea","provider":"Song Tea \u0026 Ceramics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
