What a lovely Yiwu shou! We adore Yiwu area teas and this old tree shou is no exception. It brews up super thick, smooth, creamy, and gentle with a lot of dark body. You get the steep just right and it tastes like dark chocolate! The aromas are very earthy and woodsy. This is a very mellow and chill shou. This tea has some very noticeable energy though. Brewing Instructions Use 5-10 grams of leaves and brew with 75-150ml ( 2.5-5oz ) of water at or near boiling. Rinse once for a few seconds. Start with quick steeps under 10s. With each re-steep adjust the steep time to your taste.
