Not all tea leaves ensure the same quality of tea. The top two are considered the best, and according to the proportion of such leaves, the teas are then divided into high-quality and low-quality teas. However, many other factors affect the final product, as in the case of Young Hyson tea. Come with us to see a world where there is no ticket like a ticket.

Young Hyson tea is also associated with several interesting facts. Some sources state that it was named after the prominent 18th century English tea merchant and director of the East India Company, Phillip Hyson. These teas were highly valued by colonial Americans at the same time, and the tax on Hyson was higher than other teas. And it also played its part during the famous Boston Tea Party, when out of the total number of approximately 342 destroyed crates, 70 of them contained Young Hyson tea.
