Everything contributes to the growth of tea, the early appearance of buds full of strength and energy. Local tea leaves densely covered with fluff. According to studies, polyphenols, tea catechins and other useful substances are found in local tea is much more than in other similar tea regions.

ORGANOLEPTICS
This unbelievably smooth sheng is one of a kind. The aroma of a dry leaf is calm and noble with honey, woody and vegetal notes due to its freshness. If you keep it in a warmed teapot for some time you will get some light spicy nuances. After rinsing aroma becomes clearer and sweeter with a little bit of leather hint. The taste is balanced and smooth with sweet and fresh vegetal, herbal and honey notes. A long-lasting sweet aftertaste. After the fifth infusion if you smell the leaves, you will notice sweet fruity notes which remind me bubble gum. As a quite experienced pu'er lover it is rare and unexpected note for a type of tea like this. At the same time the taste of tea starting to have mushroom nuances very common for such tea. In common the most beautiful thing about this tea is that it is calm and balanced without astringency what makes taste very gentle and deep.
