This is a pure assamica varietal (same as is used to make pu-erh tea) that was plucked during the first flush of spring (April) and then processed into a lovely full-bodied black tea!
The taste is fruity and sweet with the slightest floral astringency. It can be steeped 8+ times gong fu style! Stimulating and enjoyable tea that will deepen in character with age! Just keep sealed in the pouch to age it!
Mei Zi Qing is a small village in the remote Yong De county (Lincang). Mei Zi Qing village tea trees range in age from 40 to 150 years growing at an altitude of 1700 meters.

Yunnan SourcingHmm, so I bought 250g of this because I liked it so much. But the 2022 version seems a bit different. It is clearly the same tea, with similar spicy and fruity notes. But the leaves are remarkably less tippy this year, and somehow the tea seems more subdued, less fullfilling and not so edgy. Maybe it will improve because it’s still only a few months old? Still good tea, but I’m less excited about this batch.
[edit]: No, I like it. It is indeed not as strong, but that’s perfectly fine, it’s great and very refined.
