Description
This is yet another instance where our love of Yiwu region teas is validated. As this tea’s noticeable chaqi/energy takes you higher, the in-flight service offers a floral fragrance, slight citrus note, and nectar sweetness. The flavour coats and sticks to the mouth, creating a full feeling. Although there is plenty of flavour to hold on to, this tea is classically soft and sweet, with minimal bitterness, as a good Yiwu tea should be.
Unsurprisingly, this tea owes much of its good qualities to the incredible environment it comes from. Located just next to the border with Laos and a stone’s throw from Wangong and Bohetang, the Tianmenshan features plenty of gaogan (tall pole) tea trees. These ancient trees lie in a remote, well-protected forest environment. Just getting to the land requires significant effort, not to mention the difficulty and risk to pick these 10-30 meters tall giants.
Similar to this year’s Wanderlust, we feel this tea outperforms for its price, even as a premium offering.
$1.10/gram

Alexandra Verville-Paris –
With this tea in hands, you’ll have everything to enjoy a delightful long lasting session.
//Smell: Sweet floral wave, lemony water, perfumed hay, cold vegetable broth, wet rock, grapefruit icing
//Texture: Tingling on the tip of the tongue, instant heavy teeth/cheeks coating, vaporous on the palate
//Taste: Light floral, grapefruit icing, dry hay, astringency, mineral, super hard to describe (so you’ll have to try it for yourself)
//Body sensation: Nice heat, calm energy, appreciation, noise sensitive
