While Qianjiazhai’s biggest claim to fame is its 2700+ year old tea tree, along with many other 1000-year trees that exist within the heavily forested area, this tea has nothing to do with that. Instead, this small tree tea is a great daily drinker at an unbeatable price. Don’t be fooled though – this tea packs a punch, with some additional bitterness funkiness compared to our other offerings in this price range. A nice huigan (returning sweetness) follows, making this an excellent tea to start your day, or to get through the afternoon. $0.12/gram Region: Qianjiazhai, Ailao Shan, Simao Prefecture Picking Period: April 3-8
