Description

Grown from ancient tea trees greater than 100 yrs old (Gushu) in Yunnan, Xishuangbanna. The style of tea in china is known as Lao Cha Tou or old tea nuggets. During careful fermentation the tea’s natural pectin and sugars accumulates binding together into dense, flavorful clumps. This process enhances the tea’s character producing bright red liquor with a rich and inviting aroma.

The first sip is earthy and full-bodied, revealing notes of rich dark chocolate, dried fruits, and aged wood. As it lingers, subtle sweetness and mellow umami emerge, leaving a smooth, grounding finish that warms and sustains. A smooth silky almost resinous sensation coats the palate.

The texture is soft and moist, with a velvety mouthfeel, leaving a sweet aftertaste that encourages salivation. The tea delivers a strong, yet mellow energy. Each nugget is a small treasure shaped by nature.
