This unique tea from Camellia taliensis grows in a reserve, access to which is strictly limited. Only local residents have the opportunity to collect tea leaves in small quantities for the production of tea. Tea from this raw material is made extremely little and it is practically not found outside of China. It came to us by personal agreement with the master, who has access to the reserve where the trees of this variety grow. The tea has a unique age, a deep tea state.
Tea raw materials: wild bushes and trees over 200 years old. Harvest altitude: 2400m. (!) Above sea level. Features of production: Shaihong (warming in the sun) Collection: early harvest, the first days of March 2026.
Taste and aroma: grapefruit, plum, notes of rosehip, chicory. The bitter taste turns into a sweet aftertaste (Kuwei).
