Description

I’m quite happy to be able to share some of this tea with you. This tea is from my mom’s best friend who went to get the wet leaves. A village in the mountains above my aunt’s house has a garden of old trees that have gone wild. The trees are old, and at a high altitude for Wuyishan. The villagers collectively harvest the trees and sell the wet leaves. These leaves cost a few times more than the usual market price! The resulting tea is well worth the effort. This tea has a clear Lao Cong and Shui Xian flavor.
