CSTV-55
Legendary tea of Sichuan, from gardens situated at 1200m altitude on the slopes of the magnificent Mount Emei, one of four sacred Buddhist mountains in China. The infusion of its glossy leaves exudes a heady vegetal (snow pea) and floral bouquet.
Lively and full, the delicate green liquor boasts a lively bite and generous tannins that provide body. Its texture is dense and is embellished with rich notes of sunflower seeds.
A potent and refreshing tea!
