This tea is from a different source from that of the Frosty Spring of the previous two years (the previous product is from Xi Shuang Ban Na). We have chosen the current product for its high elevation (1500 m), richer flavor, yet not higher price. The taste profile of this product is similar to the Frosty Spring of the previous years, but this one seems to last for more infusions due to its rich contents.
