    Ye Sheng

    cultivar

    leaf ?

    An ancient, wild-growing Assamica varietal (sometimes known as Assamica Dehongensis) that may even predate the pervasive Da Ye Zhong varietal. Ye Sheng packs a fucking punch in the cha qi realm and that punch usually connotes to a particularly wild taste, with some burly lemony purple-like fruity/floral notes. Those flavors and effects likely come from Ye Sheng's catechin content, which may be naturally present in this wild varietal to defend against insects and other predators from consuming the leaves. Humans seek and savor stress and danger.
