We decided on this project a few months ago and set of to Wuyishan with the idea in mind to visit a selection of the 12 original Da Hong Pao Heritage masters and offer a selection of their teas for tea lovers in the West to taste and compare

It is extremely elegant

The aftertaste is steady and sweet and there is a good body to the tea

this tea spent some time in Hong Kong

2005 Yiwu Ancient Tree Dragon Balls old tea the mellowed roast integrates nicelyAged Yiwu tea of this quality is difficult to find still available for sale these days. The producer had been making a larger batch, pressed into melon shapes for a commission, but liked the quality of this ancient tree material and pressed 11kg into these 7g dragon balls to hold back for his own consumption. The tea is concentrated, thick, with long aftertaste and powerful energy. The tea has been aged nicely and the raw material is really excellent.
