Young Hyson Tea from Ceylon
Young Hyson Tea, within days of harvest, straight from Ceylon. It was named after an English tea merchant Phillip Hyson. Still, amusingly, it means "flourishing spring" in Chinese - and indeed, this tea is picked before the rainy season to embody the warm, sunny, fresh green character you would expect from springtime.

Considered Thomas Jefferson’s favorite, this green tea is made from thinly rolled young leaves that unfurl when brewed. It has a fresh, verdant flavor with full-bodied, warm, plum-like tones.
It was highly prized by colonial Americans and more heavily taxed than other teas. During the Boston Tea Party, 70 chests of Hyson were destroyed. Young Hyson, picked in the spring, is considered a higher quality tea than regular Hyson. Brews 30 cups.
Here's the thing you need to be aware of. Hyson tea and Young Hyson tea are not the same! Hyson tea is a low or so-so quality tea. However, Young Hyson is a high-quality tea. It's much better in taste and is harvested "before the rains", golden in color.
