Description

Our fine Wild Ancient Tree Black tea is a rare and unique treasure, as it is harvested from untamed wild tea trees. It is grown at an altitude of more than 2000 meters above sea level in southwestern China’s Yunnan Province. The 100-year-old wild tea trees are handpicked only in the spring each year, their ancient root systems dig deep into the ancient mineral-rich soil to offer unique, complex tasting notes and body.

Once steeped, the dark leaves release a brilliant and clear warm brown tea liquor with a floral date fragrance. At first sip, you will be drawn deeper in with notes of berry, pickled plum, and cassis-characteristically wild tasting with a strong cha-qi and lingering freshness on your palate.

Very very good black tea. It is somewhat mellow, but that allows you to enjoy complexity of the flavour.

Very interesting and unique black tea. It tastes and smells of summer in a way I can't quite adequately describe, like lush sunkissed foliage after a rainstorm. Almost has a bit of a spicy bite to it. Mineral, somewhat fruity, mildly astringent.. I feel like I'm eating a painting of the landscape the tea was grown in, you can taste the summer in these leaves.

Overall very pleasant and unique tea, would recommend!

When I want a lighter more refreshing tea I go for this one. I get a definite Lychee flavour.

Interesting choice I took. The tea itself smells very much like a rock wulong, mineral aroma with slight citrus peel "zing". The color is a nice deep amber but of course will begin as a more honey gold the first two steeps. No real astringency with this. It is however nice and smooth with the flavor of peach. No strong aftertaste so if you're looking for something strong, this may not be for you. Slight hints of nuttiness and wood, but not at all "sharp". Would not mind purchasing again. Caffeine can be felt but with a gradual sensation. I suggest high volume of leaf for longer sessions and richness. Leaves last about 5 steeps with usual 5g. Not a bad qualitea for the price.
