Type: red

Origin: Lincang, Yunnan 

Don’t let their appearance fool you - these dramatic leaves are pure buds gently handled with minimal wilting and minimal oxidation. These fuzzy buds contain more free amino acids than fully grown tea leaves. Medium-bodied with notes of malt, cacao, and dates, this is a tea that lends itself to an experience of early autumn.

 

2 oz loose leaf 

Brewing Tips:

5g/100 ml using 98 Celsius water (near boiling). Start with 10-15 second infusions.

Like dessert

This is a beautifully smooth, malty tea with hints of dried fruit and chestnuts. It is the perfect afternoon treat and yields 4-5 steepings in my 110ml gaiwan - love it!
