Try this tea first
Product code: CSTVI-231

This aged tea from China is made from both spring and autumn plucking from Sheng Tai (an eco-friendly garden). The village of Tong Qing He is part of the Yiwu appellation, a famous mountain among the 6 sacred mountains of the Xishuangbanna.

The mixture of leaves and buds, once moist, emanates fruity, vanilla and camphor aromas. The tea has both a refreshing and warm scope with a full, yet very delicate liquor. The great finesse of the flavours at the beginning, with vegetal (eucalyptus) and fruity (apricot) notes, gives way to a mineral touch at the finish.

The mouth-feel is remarkable.
