Where To Buy:
Yezi Tea
Product Description:
This smoky black loose-leaf tea is grown in the majestic Nanhu Mountain range on the outskirts of Fuqing City in the Fujian province of China. These mountains might be covered in dense fog for two hundred days a year, but one thing remains clear: for the last 250 years they have been home to some of the finest teas to come out of China.
Yi Fu Chun is an organic tea, and Yezi is proud to bring you this offering sourced, like most of our teas, directly from the farmer. You will find drinking this golden brown brew as smooth as riding in a Rolls-Royce on a newly paved highway. A light and natural sugarcane sweetness is a distinguishing characteristic of Yi Fu Chun. Notes of apple and peach add to its complex flavor.

Tea brewing is an art – and you are the artist! Just as a jazz musician adds individual touches to make a composition unique, you can add your own individual flourishes to make your tea stand out. The guidelines provided above are derived from two time-tested principles: 1) The more oxidized a tea, the higher the temperature you will need, and 2) Smaller tea pots allow for more control over the brewing process and are especially recommended for lighter teas. That said, we encourage you to experiment with the amount of tea you use, water temperature, tea utensils, and infusion times to conjure up your own “Aha!” moment.
Yi Fu Chun Black Tea is also known as…Cantonese version of the name is Yat Fat Chun 一拂春茶
Tasters Review:
I’ve heard this tea as being described as Baked Bread, Brown Sugar, Caramel, Cocoa, Dried Fruit, Floral, Malt, Molasses, Rye, Smooth, Sweet, Thick, Apple Skins, Cherry, Dark Chocolate, Creamy, Honey, Sweet Potatoes, Peach, Peanut, Smoke, Cannabis, Grain, Chocolate. Whatever your tongue may taste – I really LOVE this tea from Yezi! As for my experiences with this tea – I like it because it’s fairly smooth, gently sweet – much like a bit of sugar cane, and towards the end of the sip I could pick up on subtle peachy notes as well. The first infusion hint at a bit of smoke but additional infusions – the smoke flavors are diminished.
