We are excited to offer this expertly crafted black tea from high atop Wuliang Mountain in Simao. This tea is at once brisk and sweet, eye-opening and soothing at the same time!
Cast your eyes upon the dry leaf and notice all of the downy tips. If this were a green tea, we would call this “mao feng” which translates to “downy tip”.

Customers also report enjoying this with a splash of milk and sugar.
