A lush and floral paradise. Cucumber-like sweetness and a trail of silk in the aftertaste. Steeps flawlessly in the Western mug.

Harvested and produced April 10, 2024 by Mr Li in Pujian County, Sichuan Province. It’s a one bud, one leaf pick of a local cultivar growing at approximately 2,500 feet. It’s produced with a combination of steaming and pan-firing techniques. “Steaming” is the signature of Japanese green tea production and its employment here is unusual, but it brings a bit of that brothy, sencha character while retaining the Chinese floral attributes. This is an outstanding tea.
