What is Young Hyson tea and why is it special?

Young Hyson is a premium green tea made from thinly rolled young leaves picked before the rainy season, when the warm, sunny conditions produce a fresh, verdant character.

The name means "flourishing spring" in Chinese, and the tea was reportedly Thomas Jefferson's favorite. It was so highly prized by colonial Americans that it was taxed more heavily than other teas, and 70 chests of Hyson were famously destroyed during the Boston Tea Party.

One first-time customer remarked, "This is what good green tea tastes like."

What does Young Hyson tea taste like?

Young Hyson has a bright, spring-like warm taste with subtle notes of fresh herbs and full-bodied, plum-like tones.

The aroma is floral with hints of green beans or spinach. When brewed, it produces a smooth and delicately sweet cup.

One customer who typically does not enjoy green teas found this one "very drinkable and enjoyable," and his Chinese wife "was surprised by the quality for the price."

What is the difference between Hyson and Young Hyson tea?

This is an important distinction. Regular Hyson tea is a lower quality tea, while Young Hyson is a high-quality tea harvested "before the rains" from premium young leaves.

Young Hyson produces a golden-colored brew with superior taste and is considered a higher grade in every respect.

The young leaves are thinly rolled and unfurl beautifully when brewed, releasing complex flavors that develop across multiple infusions.

How many cups does this package make and how should I brew it?

The 10 oz (284g) package makes approximately 80 cups of tea. Use 1-1.5 teaspoons (2.5-3 grams) per 225ml of water heated to 158-176°F (70-80°C).

Steep for just 1 minute for the first and second brews, watching the twisted leaves unfurl. Gradually increase steeping time and temperature for subsequent infusions.

One serving can be brewed several times, with each steeping revealing different flavor notes.

Is this tea suitable for people who don't usually like green tea?

Yes, many customers find Young Hyson more approachable than other green teas.

One reviewer specifically noted, "I am not a fan of green teas in general, but I find this tea very drinkable and enjoyable." The smooth, delicately sweet flavor and lack of bitterness (when properly brewed at lower temperatures) make it an excellent introduction to quality green tea.

It is also keto-friendly, vegan, and paleo-friendly.

How is the tea shipped and can I track my order?

DRUERA ships directly from Ceylon's Kandy district within days of harvest, ensuring exceptional freshness.

Every order includes a tracking number so you can monitor your package's journey.
