Description

Fo Shou, or “Buddha’s Hand,” varietal is one of the most exotic and luscious teas in the Li Family collection. True its name, there are strong notes of temple incense and rosewood prayer bead aroma.

The unusually large leaves are a beautiful site as they unfold in a gaiwan or yixing pot.
