Highest grade Wuyi tea picked only a few days per year. Turkish delight notes of rose and cocoa, lychee fruitiness and roasted prune. Ultra soft and juicy.
SEASON: Spring Pre Qing Ming
CULTIVAR: A wild growing variety close to the Xingcun Xiaozhong variety
ORIGIN: Picked in the National Conservation area of Wuyi and processed in Tong Mu, Fujian, China
PICKING & PROCESSING: Bud shoots probably picked from the side of the tea bush stem. Hand rolled tea.
ELEVATION: 1500-1800m
One of the most expensive teas in China and almost impossible to find outside very special tea circles. The picking and processing of this tea is a little secretive (hence the slightly uncertain SCOPE analysis!). Buds picked pre-qing ming from wild growing, primitive tea variety, possibly from the side of the stems. Every 10g contains about 1000-1500 hand rolled buds picked from the side stem of the Wuyi Lapsang tea plant. Pinnacle quality black tea unlike any other tea being produced.

I could not get enough of this tea. So delicious. It was hard for me to put the tasting notes down, but it was very fragrant and knocked me out. I don’t normally love black teas, but this one may have changed my opinion. I would say that smokey floral notes take the lead here, but this tea is very complex and I love it. I got about 8 infusions out of it but I kept wanting more.
