This Chinese dark Wulong grown in the Phoenix Mountains (Feng Huang) presents a great example of balanced charcoal roasting: light chestnut aromas with a side of ripe fruits and a lingering flowery breath in the finish.
Made from 35 year old tea plants, it shows surprising depth in profile.
Keep some aside for further discoveries. Its aromas wonderfully evolve with time.
