If you’re in need of turning your mood around, then this tea is for you. In fact, even if you’re already in good spirits, you’ll still be able to enjoy this full-meal of a tea. Made from a mixed picking of Gedeng qiaomu (arbor) and big tree material, this tea is slightly aggressive up front with a gentle kuwei (pleasant bitterness) and astringency, but quickly dissolves as a pleasant fragrance and huigan take over in the mouth and throat. This tea offers a full-bodied soup and nice texture, along with an overall pleasant feeling in the body that builds up over the course of the session, making it a great tea for sad people. Picking period: March 24-30 $0.31/gram
