A fantastic representative of high-quality Yiwu tea, this Gaoshan old tree tea covers all the bases. While the overall character is soft and supple, this tea has a fragrance forward character. Although there is minimal bitterness and astringency, there is still plenty of backbone. The soup coats the mouth nicely, offering a pleasant texture and salivating quality. This tea is enjoyable all around, with no noticeable flaws and a pleasant, uplifting energy. We highly recommend this tea for both drinking now a nd storing for the long haul. $0.72/gram Region: Gaoshan (Yiwu), Xishuangbanna Prefecture Picking Period: March 28-April 1, 2025
