Yufeng Cliff Tea
Mengshan Yufeng Cliff Tea is a natural, eco-friendly cliff-grown tea specialty from Mengshan County in Guangxi. It gets its name from growing in the crevices of high mountain cliffs at Yufeng in Mengshan’s Yumeng Valley. Originating from ancient folk traditions, this tea has been known by various names such as Cliff Tea, Monkey-Picked Tea, Stone Mountain Tea, and Immortal Tea, and was regarded as a treasured commodity among locals. In 2002, the Mengshan Yufeng Tea Factory began developing cliff tea products, which quickly gained widespread acclaim and praise from customers. It became an essential delicacy for hosting distinguished guests and a premium gift item, earning a reputation across the nation and even in Hong Kong and Macau. It is now recognized by tea experts as a speciality tea and has received strong support from agricultural authorities, enabling large-scale cultivation.
Mengshan Yufeng Cliff Tea is a large-tree, arbor-grown tea. The fresh tea leaves are glossy and vibrant, coming in shades of greenish-blue and purple. The processed tea forms tight, bead-like strips, producing a clear, yellowish-bright liquor with white frost visible on the tea leaves. Its flavor is uniquely distinctive—early spring tea carries the sweet aroma reminiscent of ripe sugarcane, with a mellow taste that leaves a lasting sweet aftertaste and lingering fragrance in the mouth. As a naturally wild and eco-friendly tea, Mengshan Yufeng Cliff Tea has won the love of consumers and customers from all walks of life for its exceptional quality and is widely acknowledged as a specialty product of Guangxi.
Products from the Mengshan Yufeng Tea Factory won several awards at the 2009 Spring Tea Festival “Guilin Tea Cup” competition, including first prize for “Yufeng Maojian” and second prize for “Yufeng Chunlü.”
