Entirely Old Arbor tea from the Spring 2017 Harvest from Gu Shan 孤山 in Jinggu County of Simao. Gu Shan (lit. Lonely Mountain) is located in a roadless area of Jinggu.

The trees are pure assamica varietal (大叶种), with leaves that are large and stout, and have a deep olive-green color. This tea will brew up a perfectly balanced thick and pungent brew.
