We don't know when or if this item will be available.

Cui Yu varietal is the most easily forgotten varietal in the tea world. You don’t hear people say “Yes I am attending a tea ceremony that features Cui Yu today,” because Cui Yu is very commonly ignored tea varietal today. It is not as cool as Qin Xing Oolong, nor is it well-known as its sister Jin Xuan, and since the launch we only began to have Cui Yu varietal available from winter of 2017.

So why we are offering this now? Because we are finally confident enough to bring a Cui Yu Oolong (a fully rolled one) to you thanks to the collaboration from the Yang family.Yang family has been growing tea organically a while now, and they cultivate remarkable material such as the Shanlinxi and “Emerald Magppie” we are offering. When we realized they also have Cui Yu varietal, we stepped in to see what we are able to create out of it. Since nobody expects anything out of this long forgotten varietal, we did not have high expectation at the beginning.

It turned out Cui Yu deserves greater attention than any other tea varietal. Under proper processing this varietal can create some truly affordable yet satisfying result for the daily drinking market. Meanwhile, this tea not only can serve casual drinking purpose, but can also be a starter tea for tea ceremony thanks to its rich body. Drinking this tea makes you feel as if you are standing in the middle of a meadow while a warm breeze brushes your cheek.
