Appreciation & Value

Tea Connoisseur's Choice

This tea stands in a separate category among wulong teas. The most valuable varieties come from semi-wild or wild old tea trees, possessing powerful 'Cha Qi' and strong fragrance.

Best appreciated slowly and carefully, paying great attention to its aroma. We highly recommend using tea pairs and high-quality water, preferably boiled over the fire!

When properly stored, this tea becomes softer, deeper, and more interesting over time, achieving the same value as fine Pu'Er teas.

Tasting Notes

The "perfume" fragrance is truly amazing at first taste. This tea is exceptionally aromatic, with appreciating its fragrance being as important as tasting the infusion.

Dry tea leaves exude intense, sweet floral and honey notes with bakery and cognac nuances. After warming in a teapot, the aroma evolves into apple, cinnamon, and baked fruit notes. Post-rinsing, the aroma further develops with woody and spicy nuances.

The taste is light and sweet, featuring honey, floral, and vanilla notes. The aroma cup delivers an exquisite fragrance of vanilla, cream, and orchids, with a sweet, long-lasting aftertaste that persists throughout the day.
