2024 Yunnan Sourcing "Suan Zao Shu" Old Arbor White Tea Cake
Suan Zao Shu village is one of the most remote villages in the Jinggu area, taking nearly 2 hours from Jinggu town to arrive there. The winding dirt roads stop about 5 kilometers before you arrive and the remaining distance must be traversed by foot. Suan Zao Shu village lies at an altitude of 1800 meters and is home to tea trees ranging in age from 50 years up to 400 years. Our Suan Zao Shu tea cake is made from tea leaves harvested 200-300 year old tea trees in the Li family tea garden.
Suan Zao Shu tea is very strong in flavor, aroma and cha qi. The white tea processed version of this tea is fruit and honey with a light touch of umami tart. It has a thick mouth-feel, and a warming yellow-orange tea soup with tons of body!
Stone-pressed in the traditional manner.
