There aren't any tasting notes for this tea yet.
Teng Tiao village (Rattan village) is located in Jing Gu county of Simao. The leaves used for our production come from the oldest stand of trees in the area (150-300 years old). The tea is first flush of spring and was picked in mid-April during the dry cool sunny weather that precedes the end of the monsoon season in southern Yunnan.
This is a unique tea because the cha qi is clean and strong but not overpowering. There is a nice grass and floral aroma in the first sips and very noticeable cooling sensation in the mouth and throat followed by a slight mouth-watering feeling from the tongue. The successive infusions become stronger and then even out. The leaves and stems are very burly and attest to their old tree origins.
Our Spring 2017 Teng Tiao is very strong and thick in the mouth. Perfectly balanced bitter, astringent and sweet. Long lasting mouthfeel and very infusable. This tea is a classic and will be sought after long after we’ve sold out of it.
