Description

This Pre-Qingming Dragonwell tea is all about a fine and subtle sweetness, and a long, drawn out aftertaste and crisp texture. This is Mrs. Li’s first picking of the season, selected from her highest-elevation tea plants and carefully hand-finished by her husband. Her true Dragonwell grows on the pure mountain slopes of Shi Feng and draws in sweet mountain spring water.

Many of the buds in this pre-Qing Ming harvest tea are covered in fine downy hair. These are the trichomes (down) of the bud set tea, which have gathered and clumped together during processing. These trichomes are what make this bud set tea so rich, full and creamy!
