Jinggu "Da Jin Ya" Camellia Taliensis Black Tea

A lovely spring harvested tea from Yang Ta village in Jinggu county.  Camellia Taliensis varietal tea leaves picked from 40 to 60 year old plantation bushes, and processed into this lovely and unique black tea.  Through a process of frying, rolling, wilting and drying Mr. Lu (a Yang Ta local tea grower) has brought out all the subtle and complex nuances that this lovely varietal has to offer.  Thick, sweet, malty and floral, this tea brews up a lovely vibrant and stimulating cup of tea!
