High Mountain Black Teas are special. Grown at 1800m in the Lishan Mountain region, this one is no different. From the moment you open the bag, you know that the tea is different. The ripe, sweet red fruit flavors that this tea offers are only possible with highly oxidized high mountain tea leaves. And this one has a generous amount of floral notes mixed in as well.
