Product details

Tasting notes

The dark-brown leaves brew an orange liquor. The first sip has astringency that gives way to rock-sugar sweetness, a woody note and a lingering honeyed orchid aroma. The opened leaves are dark green with clear veins.

Origin and processing

The original grower notes place the gardens along the Mengku River, around 1,650–1,900 m above sea level. The shop describes the source trees as roughly a century old.

Brewing and storage

Warm a gaiwan. Add 8 g of tea and use water at 95°C or hotter. Steep the first five infusions for 3–5 seconds, then 5–10 seconds per infusion. Keep later infusions under 15 seconds. Store at room temperature in a cool, dry, dark place, away from strong odours.
