Gushu Black Tea from Youle Mountain (15 mini tea cakes per box)
The black tea is made from Gushu material (old trees about 200 years old) in Youle Mountain, Yunnan Province, China. Pesticide-free and fertilizer-free. Picking the leaves consists of 1 bud and 2 leaves. The black tea processing is sun-dry / sun-wither. We call it Shai Hong (晒红）
Yunnan Da Ye Zhong (big tea leaves) which is on the one hand the original tea plant Camellia sinensis var. assamica which carries more nutrients and flavors than small tea leaves. The tea can be brewed many times.
This black tea has been lightly rolled into long golden twists.
Its bright red liquor is clear and crystalline deploying a broad aromatic bouquet combining finesse and rusticity.
Softwood notes (spruce), rose flavor, spices and leather enhance its tasty nuances of citrus and malt. Its finish reveals delicate floral and fruity (berries) accents.
