Manzhuan wooed us hard this year. Every tea tasting we had someone took out an amazing Manzhuan. Every session the experience got better and better. We knew we had to get to Manzhuan.

This material is on the softer side. The aromas are floral but subdued and delicate. This tea shines in body and peaceful energy. This tea is thick and stays thick through the steeps. It’s a real pleasure to drink and just seems to always hit the spot whatever mood we’re in.
