Overview
Best pick • solid dark choice from Unknown origin
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
The pleasant texture brings to mind rolling hills of pasture dotted with haystacks. The cup has an agrarian character with a mild mineral quality and a heaping helping of earth. A great daily drinker. Originally harvested and produced on April 15, 2023 by Ms. Tang Meihong on Jingmai Mountain, Lancang County, Yunnan Province. Post fermentation was completed October 15, 2023. It’s a one bud, two leaf pick of the Yunnan Big Leaf cultivar growing at approximately 5,400 feet. For other excellent tea from Ms. Tang, check out Cloak of Night.
