Kudin tea from Hainan and Yunnan, China

Kudin tea:

a bitter-sweet experience

The Kudin tree, Ilex kudin or Ilex latifolia, is a large and nowadays rare tropical tree of the Chinese provinces Hainan and Yunnan. Its leaves are used for tea much like the Puer tea leaves.

The tea, which has a bitter-sweet taste, is listed as valuable Chinese medicine as early as the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties for its beneficial effects to heart, brain, and stomach.

The tea comes in 3 different shapes:

1st: Kudin balls:

2nd: Kudin spines

3rd: Kudin roles

These leaves come from the Wuzhi Shan Mountains of Hainan island. One ball, spine, or role of leaves is enough for one large can of tea. Use only the first and second refilling of boiling water as later refillings are getting very bitter. A truly rare and precious tea!

price per 100g is €8.-
