Taste characteristics:
Kunlu Mountain,is a tea production area that sits along the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and that has been acclaimed as the “Imperial Tea Garden.” It is believed that the tribute tea for the imperial family during the Qing Dynasty was made from trees in this area. The tea is quite prominent in terms of quality; however, it is reported that the old trees of this area have been protected by the local villagers in recent years. As such, teas made from old trees in this area are extremely rare.
It is not surprising that the quality of this tea is superb. Steeped to an amber hue, the tea broth is clear and bright. The tea is so clean and crisp it is as if you are drinking spring water from the snow summit. At the same time, it is thick, full-bodied and leaves a comforting cooling sensation (“gan”) that fills the entire mouth. The flavor has an elegant honey note, which becomes more prominent in later steeping. Bana Tea Company is extremely proud to be able to source a tea of such high quality.
