From the same grower as our very popular “The Potion” from this spring, this is the winter version of this very popular tea, probably even more popular than our Li Shan Tie Guan Yin (which is also an superb tea that should not be missed). We think it is worthwhile to introduce the winter version of this tea to have a great demonstration of seasonal differences, and the effect is quite obvious on "the Potion.
This tea is called “The Potion” because (like a potion) it’s the most magical elixir we found in spring, and we think it still bears the same quality, but with a slightly different wintery character. Unlike the spring version, which was like a beautiful lady with beautiful make-up, this winter version expresses an implicit side of the same tea. From a full orchestra to an elegant soloist, is the best way for us to describe it.
