Details

This tea is made with leaves picked from ancient trees grown deep in the mountains of Fengqing, Yunnan, where the primitive, natural environment ensure ideal growing conditions. The decomposition of fallen leaves and wild fruits provides sufficient nutrients for the soil required by these tea trees - and this is the secret behind the quality of the leaves from these trees, resilient through at least eight steeps without the slightest hint of bitterness. Overall this tea has a rich, mellow taste, smooth and mild at the same time, and followed by a lingering sweetness.
