Overview

Mount Lao is among the most significant sites in Daosim. This handmade tea was grown in the gardens beneath the mountain range in the northerly Shandong province of China. Growing in such a northerly and cool climate challenges the tree but creates a delicious, sweet and layered cup. While Lao Shan village region focuses almost exclusively on green tea processing, Mr. He’s hybrid oolong rolling and black tea oxidation, coupled with an aromatic roasting creates a unique sweet and toasty profile.
