Although this is a low elevation tea from Ming Jian, we still feel the urge and excitement to introduce it to tea lovers around the globe. Not only is this tea organically grown, affordable, and easy to drink, it also carries a very special sweetness that will soak into your tongue and throat, at once soothing and stimulating!
A tea grown at this (lower) elevation which is both flavorful and powerful is thanks to two factors – first is the organic plantation, second is the coolness of the winter weather. Due to the coolness of December, the tea trees will grow much slower and “fatter” than usual to survive the harsher weather. The result is a unique aroma and body that could only appear when the tea plants are in rhythm with the winter weather! (冬片) tea.
This extraordinary tea will also be the last tea that we offer in our Winter 2015 collection. It’s a perfect tea to welcome the upcoming spring, or to enjoy at anytime of the year. Despite its lower elevation and low oxidized process, the opulent substance within will make it a good candidate for aging.
