It's a medium-leaf ecological tea, fully oxidized to a warm, honeyed character—smooth and structured with the kind of depth that only old-mountain Yunnan leaf delivers. The chrysanthemum is a different story entirely: White Taiju baby buds from Huangshan, harvested in early spring at peak aromatic clarity. First-pick. Visually uniform. Selected for fragrance above all else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTogether they're pressed into a cake by Xiaohui Quan—known to his team as \"brother Quan\"—a 35-year veteran of old-world Yunnan tea making who has spent his career making once-luxury teas accessible. The result is a tea that's genuinely delicate without being thin: the black tea holds structure while the chrysanthemum floats above it, clean and sweet and floral, without ever tipping into perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBoth harvests are spring 2026.

To brew it, you'll need to break off a portion (about 5 grams) using a butter knife, the back of a spoon, or any thin tool you can wedge into the edge of the cake. The leaves are intact and will open fully in hot water. Once broken off, brew it just like any loose leaf tea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #636569;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVINTAGE — \u003c\/b\u003eSpring 26'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #636569;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTYLE — \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eDianhong\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #636569;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCULTIVAR — \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eZheng Shan Xiao Zhong\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #636569;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eREGION —\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eGedeng, Xishaungbanna, Yunnan, China\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #636569;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLOCALE —  \u003c\/b\u003eXindi \/ Quanji Chenxiang\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #636569;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELEVATION — \u003c\/strong\u003e1200 - 2000 m.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #636569;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCER — \u003c\/b\u003eXiaohu Quan\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(146, 124, 78);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(146, 124, 78);\"\u003eSTEEPING PARAMETERS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e(use freshly boiled spring water)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emodern, large format\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e[300 ml+ vessel — \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\" title=\"HUGO TEA | COLLECTIONS | BOLI 400 ml\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hugotea.com\/collections\/tea-tools\/products\/tea-pot-boli-400-ml\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBOLI\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, large teapot]\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e4 grams — 200°F (93°C) — 2 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003etraditional, small format\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e[150 ml- vessel — \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"HUGO TEA | COLLECTIONS | gaiwan\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hugotea.com\/collections\/tea-tools\/products\/gaiwan-hugo\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003egaiwan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, small teapot]\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e7 grams — 200°F (93°C) — 10 seconds\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e(rinse recommended)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e+ 15-20 seconds each additional steep\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Hugo Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52005803983149,"sku":"C-21","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0178\/6381\/files\/FellowTeaCake_Front_Wrapped.jpg?v=1777112048","url":"https:\/\/www.hugotea.com\/products\/mums","provider":"Hugo Tea Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
