Description

This tea is harvested from a single tree which has entered many national and internal tea competitions and won numerous prizes since the 70’s, often the first prize-Gold Medalist winner.

Aroma of this tea is sweet orchid floral. Orchid is an illusive term to describe aroma. Orchid is the most praised flower in Chinese culture, there are many species of orchid which aren’t related in botanical family. Even within the orchid botanical family, there are over 50,000 varietals, some are fragrant, some aren’t, and some are smelly. In this case, I can’t define a particular flower to describe the aroma of this tea. It’s beautiful without a doubt, not over powering with a soothing nature.

Flavor is aromatic as well that lingers in your mouth, you may find it in your breath soon after drinking. Sweet honey taste lasts many infusions.
