Description

A rare and unusual green tea, tiny moss like curls of a dark jade green color, most akin to the Bi Luo Chun. Buttery, complex, and fresh tasting, grown on the peaks of Lu Shan, a Taoist mountain known for its fantastic scenery. The blindingly foggy conditions of this mysterious mountain makes for a natural shade growing of the teas, where they grow mostly wild and harvested by the local mountaineers. Competing for sunlight constantly, the leaves produce a high concentration of chlorophyll and nutrients that results in a rich meal like taste.
