Description

We love pure Assamica varietal black teas and this early spring pick from the Shi Tou Xin Zhai (New Stone Village) area of the Nan Nuo Mountains in Menghai is both unique and delicious!

When we refer to pure Assamica, we are basically referring to the same tea plant that produces Pu-erh tea. In fact, this tea grower processes his teas into both black tea and Pu-erh tea, all from the same bushes.

This tea when brewed offers a dried longan type sweetness, a thick viscous body with a malty finish.
