Overview
Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses
One of our favourite value-teas of recent years, this Kunlu shan arbour tea offers up a full flavour and pleasant mouth feel. Kunlu is known for having wild and semi-wild trees, as well as a wide range of varietals that can be found, giving different pickings and productions their own unique style. Just as with the previous year, this tea starts out with a mineral-sweet flavour, some gentle bitterness and a slight vegetal quality that continues to build with each brew. Both the fragrance and sweetness are long lasting and distinct, accompanied by a nice body feeling. $0.29/gram Region: Kunlu Shan, Simao Prefecture Picking period: March 19-23
