Description

This is a special tea made from Yunnan Camellia Taliensis varietal tea in Jinggu. The bushes grow naturally and are 40-60 years old. The tea is picked during the late autumn flush, wilted slightly and then dried with warm wind tunneled through the tea until it is dry. The tea shares a somewhat similar look and taste with white tea when it is young but over time will develop into something closer to red tea (hongcha).

The taste is sweet and thick with malty tones and the tea can be brewed 7 or 8 times before losing its flavor.

Production period: Varied

100 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)
