Description

Mei Zhan varietal is rich and bold. The aromatics fill an entire room when steeping. Li Xiangxi and her brother were especially excited to share this as a part of their autumn collection, as their subtle charcoal roasting brings out the best in this tea. The balance of fruit and florals places this tea close to Qilan in terms of aromatics, but darker and more grounded like Big Red Robe. The nectarine juiciness, and hibiscus undertones give Mei Zhan a unique place in the Wuyi collection.
