Description
The
fresh leaves for making this tea grew in the original producing area of
Keemun tea, at an average elevation of 800 m above sea level. The one
bud with one leaf (which just starts to open up, called Chu zhan "初展")
is hand-plucked for making this tea around the Chinese season of Qing
Ming in early spring days. These fresh first-plucking leaves for making
are loaded with nutrients and hence the finished dry leaves are neat and
bold with high percentage of tiny golden tips. There is a sweet, mellow
taste which creates a pleasant smooth sensation in your mouth. Overall,
the first infusion of this tea is high in roasted sweet potato flavor
mixed somewhat flower aroma, the second infusion is very mellow and the
third infusion‘s lingering sweet and fragrant aftertaste will give you
more enjoyment.
