Description

Updated April 2022 by derk

Location :Tong Mu guan (桐木关)

Harvest time :2022.April.8th

Cultivar : unsure

Feature :

This wild lapsang souchong , We call it as wild tea, because it does not have a fixed tea garden, just in a hill, and the tea trees are scattered around every corner. Before harvest picking every year, we have to go up the mountain several times to see the growth of the germinated tea tree. Our tea pickers always look for leaves in the weeds when picking this tea garden. I think there should be 2-4 different varieties in this tea.

The tea has a very obvious natural citrus and creamy and peach aroma. Fresh and sweet . very popular one Lapsang Souchong in my family .

location:Tong Mu guan (桐木关)
Harvest date : April 10th 2018
this harvest, we did the more standard picking one bud and two leaves. The looking of 2018 wild lapsang souchong is much uniform than 2016 and 2017 harvest. It is more late harvested than most of the normal Lapsang souchong, so the leaves are quite thick . Using traditional un-smoked Lapsong souchong processing skill to keep its nature essence .
Feature: Unsmoked, Ripened Peach aroma, with very obvious milk flavors. Last more than 10 infusions. No any kind of bitter even you steep the tea for a long time. Quite bright in the tea soup, orange color
