Some say that the brightness of the brew tells the quality of a tea. This tea brews a light golden cup that almost shines. This tea is aged and develops a mellowness that is quite enjoyable.

It has a unique smokey taste that is imparted through the bamboo and time into the leaves. The tea is very compressed and looks like a green tea, although it consists of high-grade leaves that are picked from plants that are known for their black tea.

Said to help digestion and cleansing of the body, this is Hunan’s very own medicinal tea. This plant had been producing this tea for over two hundred years.

This is one of the grandmothers of all tea. It will easily become a new favorite of many. It can be steeped two or three times with 180 deg f water. A hidden treasure. Vintage 1998.
