A premium “non FT” release from the Xiaguan tea factory. Likely a blend of 2007 and 2008 early spring teas tightly compressed into a 100 gram tuo (bird’s nest). This tea has a strong cha qi but is balanced with some mellow soupy flavor as the result of blending some wild arbor tea in with it. The “Dream of the Red Chamber” theme is based on a classic novel from the Qing Dynasty authored by Cao Xueqin.
