Description

Sentinel Mountain is located in the Yun Tai mountain area of An Hua County of Hunan Province and is home to some of Hunan’s most remote and wild tea gardens. This tea is from those “un-tended and wild” tea gardens at an altitude of 1200 to 1350 meters above sea level. The Yun Tai mountains have a karst base and are very steep. They provide excellent drainage, access to direct sunlight and mineral nutrients to the tea plants.

Incredibly unique Fu Zhuan tea! Light to medium level of smokiness, caramel, fruit, and mushroom broth abounds! Smooth and sweet after-taste, with a lubricating mouth feel! Nice warming character with restorative cha qi. A great tea to enjoy when you want something complex and tasty, but don’t want to be over-stimulated!

1 Brick in Box is 1000 grams
