Made from quality arbour/qiaomu material collected from various villages in the Bulang mountain range, this tea offers a pleasant but not overpowering kuwei (bitterness) upfront. This quickly yields to a gentle fragrance that lingers in the mouth and throat before transforming to persistent huigan (returning sweetness). An all-around enjoyable tea, brewing style can help steer the direction of your session. Brew with a heavier hand to embrace its burly nature or go lighter on leave and steep times to coax out the floral fragrances and enjoy a mineral sweetness. Rather than relying on name, this tea earns points based on merit, outperforming teas twice its size. We recommend cakes for now, tongs for later. $0.18/gram Region: Bulang Mountains, Xishuangbanna Prefecture Picking Period: March 17-22, 2025
