Perfect environment as well as 100% nature farming and traditional handmade processing gives this tea highest score speaking about the quality and aging potential. Noble tea with its own original character and deep, rich aroma and taste. This Mao Cha comes from 300-500 years old trees. It is 100% nature farming, no involvement of people. Very rich tea in terms of gene pool.

ORGANOLEPTICS
Tea leaves stacked into 'tea nuggets' definitely have most unusual visual appearance what makes this tea very attractive and easy in use. Dry tea have a light, sweet woody fragrance with notes of Chinese medicine. After rinsing aroma changes into sweet, bakery, fruity notes, unbelievable for this kind of tea. The taste is light and smooth, with mineral, woody and mushroom notes. This tea is one of a kind Lao Cha Tou I never met before and definitely deserves special attention.
