This black tea hails from the storied mountains of Wuyi, but with a unique origin: it is crafted from the leaves of a wild, uncultivated tea tree aged over 70 years. This wild-growing material imparts a high concentration of flavor and a notably dense, substantial texture to the brew. The profile is mature, clean, and completely free of harsh astringency. The dry leaf is aromatic, with honeyed and woody nuances. The liquor is thick and amber-red. The flavor unfolds with notes of dried fruits (think dates or raisins), rich honey, and a soft, underlying woody sweetness. The finish is long, warm, and rounded. This tea drinks with a soft yet deeply saturated quality. In terms of effect, it delivers a substantial, comforting energy and a sense of calm clarity without being overstimulating. It is perfectly suited for leisurely tea sessions and extended drinking, where its warm, powerful character can be fully appreciated. Brewing Recommendation:
Water Temperature: 95–98 °C (203–208 °F)
Tea Amount: 4-5 grams per 150-200 ml
Steeping Time: First infusion: 15-20 seconds. This tea performs beautifully with multiple infusions; gradually increase steeping time to explore its sweet, evolving depth.
A distinguished and powerful tea that showcases the untamed character of Wuyi's wild trees.
