Description

Tian Jian is a varietal of Hunan tea growing in An Hua area of Hunan. The tea is hand roasted and then wilted. Before the tea is completely dried it is pressed by hand into these lovely baskets. This low level of compression allows for slow drying and further fermentation results.

Smooth, crisp taste with fruity and smokey notes and a nice lingering mouthfeel that coast the back of the mouth and throat. The fermentation is light and produces a tea that is somewhat similar to both oolong tea and aged raw pu’er, but unique in its own way.
