A brand new black tea commission and the first time this tea was ever made by the farmer. Another lovely white2tea experiment gone right. Sunskate was oxidized very lightly, so much so that we could probably refer to it as a strange oolong instead of a black tea. The goal was to leave room for further aging and oxidation in the coming years, but it's a beautiful tea fresh as well. Made from material usually destined for raw Puer production, Sunskate has a syrupy thick body with bright aromas uncommon in a black tea. Each purchase is for one ~ 7 gram ball.
