“Bai Ni Shui” is a small village to the southwest of Jinggu town in Simao prefecture. Bai Ni Shui (lit. White Mud Water) is situated at 1900 meters above sea level and has many old tea trees growing naturally without much human interference. Our production comes from 80-200 year old tea trees and is the first pluck of Spring 2016.
The dry leaf smells of mint and mushrooms. The brewed tea is thick-bodied with a pungent nut and mushroom aroma. The tea soup is viscous and yellow-gold in color. The taste is strong and penetrates the mouth and throat with a mushroom sweetness but is countered by a bitter/astringent layer that acts to circulate the taste and feeling thoughout the mouth and throat. Cha Qi is quite strong but not overpowering.
