{"product_id":"green-tea-golden-bud-no-06","title":"Green Tea – Golden Bud No. 06 | 125g","description":"\u003cp\u003eGolden Bud No. 06 begins with the leaf. Set a few grams into a clear glass and the dry buds catch light like hammered gold — each one uniform in size, covered in the fine silver-white down that marks a single, unopened spring bud at its ideal picking moment. This is not decorative. It is the direct consequence of a picking standard that accepts nothing but the terminal bud, and a processing approach calibrated to maintain the pigment that the plant spent the season developing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. 06 occupies a slightly different register from No. 08: where No. 08 leans into a delicate floral refinement, No. 06 is fuller in body and richer in its honey-sweet character — the same golden leaf, a more rounded expression. For those who want the visual drama of the golden bud with a little more weight in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVivid Amber-Gold Dry Leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dense, uniform golden buds with a pronounced silver down — the visual signature of high-grade single-bud picking. The dry leaf in a clear vessel is as considered a presentation as the brewed cup itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGolden Liquor with Exceptional Clarity\u003c\/strong\u003e — The brewed cup pours a warm, luminous amber-gold with no cloudiness or particulate. The color deepens slightly compared to No. 08, reflecting the fuller extraction of this grade's natural pigments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHoney-Sweet Fragrance with Floral Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e — A warmer, more enveloping aroma than No. 08: the floral opening gives way quickly to a richer honey-like sweetness that fills the cup and persists as the tea cools. Approachable and immediately pleasing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRound Body, Lingering Sweetness\u003c\/strong\u003e — Medium body with a smooth, slightly velvety texture. The natural sweetness builds across the first two steeps and settles into a clean, warm finish with a gentle hui gan that is notably longer than lighter golden bud expressions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-Bud Standard, High-Altitude Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e — Only the unopened terminal bud is taken — no leaf, no compromise. High-altitude cultivation slows growth and concentrates both the golden pigmentation and the aromatic compounds that distinguish this grade from lower-elevation material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n100% single-origin golden bud green tea (\u003cem\u003eCamellia sinensis\u003c\/em\u003e), high-altitude garden, China.

No. 06 has a fuller body, a richer honey-sweet fragrance, and a deeper amber liquor color. No. 08 is more delicate and floral, with a lighter body and a more refined, understated character. If you prefer more presence in the cup, No. 06 is the choice. If you prefer precision and lightness, No. 08.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the golden color natural?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Entirely. The amber-gold hue of the dry leaf comes from the natural pigmentation of the young bud at peak development — specifically the concentration of theaflavins and carotenoids present in single-bud material at this growth stage. The silvery down is the bud's natural trichome layer. No artificial coloring is used at any point in production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why does golden bud tea look so different from standard green teas?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Standard green teas use one bud plus one or two leaves. The older leaf material is green and flat. A tea made only from unopened buds retains the full downy covering and pigment that the plant produces before the bud opens — which is why it looks categorically different from a rolled or flat-leaf green tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many servings does 125g provide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: At 3–4g per session with 2–3 infusions each, 125g yields approximately 30–40 brewing sessions. Single-bud teas yield fewer infusions than leaf-inclusive grades, so we account for that in this estimate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How should I store it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Airtight container, away from heat, light, and strong odors. The fine downy surface of golden bud tea absorbs moisture and odors more readily than denser leaf grades — proper sealing is especially important. Refrigerate for storage beyond two weeks in a fully sealed container, and bring to room temperature before opening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ovanyu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43986301812799,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4674\/9759\/files\/dry_9fa1ef91-e203-4cbf-a332-c81a9623ffcb.jpg?v=1790427564","url":"https:\/\/ovanyu.com\/products\/green-tea-golden-bud-no-06","provider":"榮國輝國際貿易 (香港) 有限公司","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
