Details
From ancient trees, and of a quality that is very difficult to find these days, we were really happy to come across 60kg of this maocha. Thick, strong leaves, bursting with energy. This is an excellent tea. It has been stored in Kunming – where the humidity is low, so it hasn’t aged as much as the Qi Sheng Gu has, but the greenness has mellowed and the vibrancy of the leaves is still strong. This reminds me of the type of teas that used to blow me away, before the ancient trees in most areas started to become horribly over picked.
