Imperial Grade Bai Lin Gong Fu Black Tea of Fuding

Bai Lin (lit. White Forest) Gong Fu black tea is made from Fuding Bai Hao "White Pekoe" varietal tea leaves. Our Imperial grade is a tippy grade, meaning only the smallest tips and leaf budlets are picked. This picking has to be done in few short days in spring to obtain the tenderest of shoots. The brewed tea is packed with flavor and aroma. There is a kind of dried longan fruit dark and pungent sweetness which juxtaposed against a low subtle bitterness that provides a real complex and lively drinking experience! Spring Harvest (Late April)
