Description
Key attributes
Long, twisted, early-plucked leaf. Brisker and more full-bodied than the pellet grades, and a common choice where green tea is drunk strong.
How to buy: order a 60 g sample online to judge the grade in your own hands. For bulk, request a quote with your grade, quantity and destination; we confirm a firm price, packing, lead time and validity in writing.
About Young Hyson
Young Hyson is a traditional green tea style made from young leaf rolled into long, twisted strands. It is not a pellet grade like Gunpowder. The liquor is pale yellow to green, and the taste is fuller than a light green tea. It is used in straight green teas, flavoured green tea blends and tea bags.

Buying questions
Which documents come with the shipment?

How do I pay safely?
First and trial orders of about USD 2,000 to 20,000 can be paid through Escrow.com, which releases the money only after you accept the goods. Larger orders are paid by letter of credit.
