MUMS is a collaboration with Hugo Tea, a Kansas City-based specialty tea company known for close producer relationships and full traceability from farm to cup.

The black tea comes from Gedeng Mountain, one of the six ancient tea mountains east of the Lancang river in Yunnan. Fully oxidized to a warm, honeyed character, it's smooth and structured with the depth that only old-mountain Yunnan leaf delivers. The chrysanthemum is White Taiju baby buds from Huangshan, harvested in early spring at peak aromatic clarity. First-pick. Selected for fragrance above all else.

Together they're pressed into a cake by Xiaohui Quan, known as Brother Quan, a 35-year veteran of old-world Yunnan tea making who has spent his career making once-luxury teas accessible. The result is delicate without being thin: the black tea holds structure while the chrysanthemum floats above it, clean and sweet and floral.

Both harvests are spring 2026.

🌎 Origin: Gedeng, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China

David E. ★★★★★

The traceability to Gedeng Mountain is what sold me—you can really taste the care in every sip. It brews up smooth with no bitterness, even when I let it steep a tad too long.

Hazel ★★★★★

I brewed this tea yesterday afternoon and was impressed by how smooth it is compared to most black teas I've tried. The fact it's fully traceable back to Gedeng Mountain adds a nice sense of place.

Aurora ★★★★★

I’ve been brewing this daily since it arrived, and the leaves from Gedeng Mountain give a smooth, rich cup that doesn’t turn bitter even after a long steep. The fact that it comes from a Kansas City tea company with full traceability makes it feel more personal, too.
