Product code:
CSTVI-260
This post fermented tea from Vietnam has been aged since 2010. The controlled fermentation process of the leaves, using heat and humidity, give a style of aged teas known as “Shou” in China. As the chemistry of the tea changes with the naturally activity of environmental bacterias, it develops round, earthy, low-tannin liquors.
In this version, the long, twisted leaves with numerous buds give off vegetable fragrances of beetroot and roots. The liqueur is soft and silky, and coats the palate with earthy notes.
Ideal for an introduction to this lesser known tea family.
