In Longjuan, Anxi, tradition and market pressures don’t drive the Liu Family to focus exclusively on traditional techniques; instead, they explore unexpected styles, mixing techniques and taking inspiration from across China to build a demand for their craft.

This tea has been carefully steamed and pressed into 7g mini-cakes for convenient brewing, aging and transportation.
