Our first raw production release for 2012! First flush of spring material from Yi Bi and Lou Shui Dong blended together in equal parts. Entirely no-spray tea leaves picked from 60 to 80 year old untended bushes and expertly processed by hand. Classic Yi Wu taste with a nice balanced full mouth-feel, thick soupy tea liquor and room filling aroma! 120 kilograms in total produced. Pressed with 40 kilogram stone press. 7 cakes per bamboo tong (7 x 250 grams)
