Feng Qing #17 Pure Bud Golden Needle Black Tea

#17 Feng Qing is a relatively new varietal first planted in the late 1990's. It's a hybrid of local Feng Qing Taliensis and Assamica. The leaves and buds are huge, and our pure bud pick is just large downy buds expertly processed with a light level of oxidation to produce a clean tasting balanced tea with notes of malt and chocolate. Sweet and thick-bodied tea that is hard to over-brew. If you are a fan of pure bud teas that have malt and chocolate sweetness then this tea might well be the one for you!
