The tea leaves are tight, dark green, and rich in aroma. When brewed, they produce a bright green tea liquor with a fresh, clean taste and a gentle natural sweetness. Its flavor is refreshing and easy to enjoy, with a light herbal character that lingers pleasantly.

Naturally caffeine-free, Wild Shiya Tea is a great choice for tea lovers who want a refreshing tea without caffeine. It can be enjoyed throughout the day, including in the evening.

Sweet Tea, also known as Yao Tea, is a naturally sweet, caffeine-free herbal tea made from the young leaves of Lithocarpus litseifolius, a unique plant native to southern China. It has been enjoyed for generations in the mountain regions of Hunan.

What makes this tea special is its natural sweetness. The young leaves are rich in naturally sweet compounds called dihydrochalcones, which give the tea its distinctive sweet taste without added sugar. The leaves are processed using a black tea-style oxidation method, making the tea smoother and more mellow, with a light herbal aroma and a flavor reminiscent of black tea.

Naturally caffeine-free, it is a great choice for tea lovers who enjoy a naturally sweet tea and want something comforting to drink at any time of day, including in the evening.
