{"product_id":"kenyan-sun","title":"Kenyan Sun","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Story Worth Discovering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow yellow tea came to be is not known with certainty. Perhaps an emperor demanded tribute before his green tea was fully dried and cooled. Or perhaps a tired apprentice, leaving his work for a break, accidentally tucked the leaves away under his apron and returned to find something unexpectedly transformed. Whatever the provenance, the result is one of the world's most elusive tea categories, and this Kenyan expression is rarer still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow tea is made by taking a fledgling green one gentle step further, steaming and wrapping the leaves and repeating the process until a mellow, luminous cup emerges. Not quite green, not quite oolong. Something entirely its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom the Kenyan Highlands\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKenya is celebrated for bold black tea (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/islandelixirtea.ca\/products\/legacy-black\" title=\"Legacy Black | Bold Black Tea | Island Elixir Tea Company\"\u003eLegacy Black\u003c\/a\u003e being a lovely example), and its yellow tea tradition is almost entirely unknown. That rarity is precisely what drew me in. This Kenyan Sun yellow tea is a gentle nudge to embrace discovery and enjoy a little taste of warm Kenyan sun. My hope is that it finds you exactly when you need a reminder that the most beautiful things are often the ones you never thought to look for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft, golden-green cup that glows like sunlight through a canopy of leaves. Sweet grass, pine nut and nectar unfold gently, with a texture as unhurried and silky as an afternoon with nowhere to be. A whisper of astringency lingers just long enough to invite another sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInfused with Intention\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Island Elixir tea, whether our own craft blend or a rare single-origin like this Kenyan yellow, is infused with Reiki energy. Kenyan Sun is no exception. This is a tea for the moments when you are ready to slow down, open up, and let something quietly extraordinary find you. In just five minutes, you feel curious, warm, and gently rekindled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteep Calm and Be Infused with Light\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eExperience Tea with Intention\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Island Elixir Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"Discover something new.
