Yellow Dragon Yellow Dragon, also known as Yunnan Yellow Tea, is a rare organic tea made from large-leaf Pu'er tea plants. Hand-picked in May from misty gardens up to 1,900 meters high near Pu'er, the leaves are matured for seven days in closed bamboo baskets after rolling, a patient process that gives the tea its distinctive character. The result of this exclusive process is a wonderfully dark, richly decorated leaf adorned with prominent golden tips, a visual signature of its premium quality.
Sourced exclusively from elite mountain gardens across Simao, Lincang, and Pu'er City, Yunnan yellow tea remains one of the rarest specialty teas in the world—a testament to centuries of expert cultivation and craftsmanship. This is a rare treasure, bringing together the absolute finest qualities of Yunnan's storied tea heritage.
