There aren't any tasting notes for this tea yet.
This very rare green tea is a specialty in the Jiangxi Province in China. Consisting of only the bud and top leaf hand picked before the Qingming Festival in the spring, this remarkable tea is even more unique because it is also organic and Fair Trade Certified. The dried loose leaf looks like thin, silver-covered green spears, producing a blushy light yellow brew that is cloudy from all the fine downy hairs (indicative of the young bud). The cup offers aromas of milky oats with a hint of brine. The medium thick brew boasts notes of toasted marshmallow, buttery baby bok choy, young asparagus and nickel.
This handpicked spring tea from the Dazhangshan Tea Garden is produced in partnership with the Wuyuan Tea College in one of the first collaborations of its kind, created to educate a new generation of tea growers in traditional tea styles and craft. This tea is usually reserved for the Chinese tea market, but is shared with us on a very limited basis.
