High Mountain Yunnan Green Tea | Gao Shan Dian Lu

Product detailed description

This tea comes from the earliest harvest in the organic tea garden Feng Ling Tea Garden 凤岭茶园 in Wa Kan Shan of Simao, South Yunnan. An altitude of the garden is 2000 m and all the tea trees come from seeds, not cutting. A cultivar used here is Qun Ti Zhong Yunnan Big Leaf Tea. The Qun Ti Zhong preserves the rich gene source of tea, which not only makes the tea from this tea garden very complex in taste, but also makes it very resilient to pests and diseases in general. There is only natural farming used here provided by local Wa people. The garden has been certified organic since 2012.

Unlike most of other Chinese provinces, the climate of Yunnan is mostly influenced by Indian Ocean. Each year from October till the end of April, when the humid air from Indian Ocean arrives in Yunnan, the weather is very sunny and dry. The tea here germinates in the beginning of March and the weather helps the tea to obtain from the soil everything it needs for a proper grow. The Dian Lu green tea has strong robust mellow taste, without any astringency, and produces very deep sweet aftertaste!
