Opinion: This Tea is a party for the senses. It made from 300+ year old, #wildarbour, Tea trees that grow above 1800m. The hand picked buds are picked each year immediately after #SpringFestival when they are still covered in what is called, “Bamboo Skin.” Sun dried with minimal other processing to retain the white downy coating on pale, yellow buds. This is a delightful and treasurable tea.
