About This Blend

High-elevation, hand-harvested teas allow for the most tender and sophisticated buds and leaves. This semi-fermented tea is the ultimate expression of plants grown in cooler, misty gardens—accentuating orchid and lilac aromatics. Savored by connoisseurs, a tea resplendent in ancient traditions, most notably with Yixing (zisha hu) purple sand teapots in the Ming and Qing Dynasty.
