We made this test production in cooperation with a farmer in Yiwu. As it was our first time dealing with him, and since the Yiwu maocha was quite expensive this year, we decided just to make a small production.
This tea was picked from ~400 year old trees growing near Chawangshu, Guafengzhai – just a few km from the Laos border. The environment here is pristine and, unlike many trees in the Yiwu region, the trees have been allowed to grow naturally and not cut short.
This tea was completely handprocessed.
The flavour is exceptionally thick and pure. The brewed liquor trickles down the throat and leaves a long, pure huigan. The qi rises slowly, warming and calming the body.
Since the quantities of this are so limited, there is a 1 cake per person limit.
