BAI HAO RED SHAN TEA from ANCIENT TREES

ORIGIN
Vietnam is known as one of the oldest tea regions in the world, with a vast area of ancient tea trees spreading from northeast to northwest. Hà Giang province is located in the northeast part of Vietnam on the border with Yunnan province, China. This region is famous for its wild ancient trees grown here for hundreds and even thousands of years. Unique climate, high altitude, rich soil and high level of humidity create an excellent environment for tea trees to grow, what give this tea a particularly special character and taste. This is a homeland of different minorities like Vietnamese, H'Mông, Tay, Kinh, Nung, Dao and others, who traditionally use tea leaves as a medicine and take care about the tea trees.

Made from high quality spring material harvested from 700+ years old tea trees, this tea is quite unique due to its rareness. Harvested by H'Mong minority high in a mountain at altitude about 1500 meters and processed by experienced tea master, this tea represents authentic wild wulong with special aroma, taste and energy.

ORGANOLEPTICS
This Oriental Beauty style tea made from 700+ years old ancient trees is one of a kind. From the first sight till the last drop this tea is a symphony which brings a lot of organoleptic sensations and gives you a calm and harmony feeling. Dry tea leaves have a light floral, honey and bakery notes brings out associations of cookies and freshly baked dough. After rinsing aroma develops into fruity, citrus, grape notes. Very sweet and pleasant flavour definitely worth to enjoy before trying the infusion. The taste is unusually smooth, creamy and airy, but at the same time deep and multifaceted. Pleasant notes of berries and a little bit of wood with a plum bone bitterness in the end. Very long-lasting sweet aftertaste with a little bit of freshness in the end of a tongue. This tea is an amazing found during our 2022 Vietnam tea expedition in a very limited quantity.
