Raw (Sheng) Da Long Shan Gu Shu, 2023, 100g

Da Long Shan Gu Shu, 2023

The leaves for this tea were harvested from old trees, aged at least 70-80 years, in a high-altitude tea garden. The developed root system of these tea trees enriches the leaves with micronutrients, resulting in a more flavorful tea. The harvesting area, Da Long Shan (Mountain of the Great Dragon), is known for its ecological purity and favorable climate for tea cultivation.
