Visiting Kunlu Shan is a real treat for us each year. The prices for their old tree material are so high that they are beyond considering. Thankfully they have amazing trees of younger vintage. KXQM stands for “Kunlu Xiao Qiao Mu” and is small arbor tree material from trees under 100yo that grow in a garden near the top of Kunlu Shan. This is one of our favorite materials each year we try it. Let this one age a couple years and it is spectacular!
This tea has great mouthfeel! There is a vibrant color that matches the youthful vigor in this tea. The aromatics in this tea are sweet and fruity with hints of dry baking chocolate.
