桐木关老树白 Tongmuguan Laocong Baicha 2018, Fujian, 10 Pieces

Tonmuguan Laocong comes from over 130-year-old wild bushes growing in a shady valley where direct sunlight is rare. The leaves are large, and the infusions are golden-green.

The special growing conditions in the Tongmuguan area result in aromatic and flavor characteristics compared to Fujian Fuding white teas grown in sunnier locations. This white Tongmuguan leaves a amazingly cooling impression , as if you had drunk from a mountain spring. At the same time, it is strong, fruity-sweet – we think of apricot and smelling of lotus leaves . A fountain seems to bubble under the tongue. We drank twelve infusions of this tea, which The aftertaste is so long-lasting that the huigan flavor was only noticeable after subsequent infusions. The peak only begins after the fifth infusion.

Extremely rare, anything but boring.

Preparation recommendation: Portion each 100-150 ml Gaiwan, 100°C water temperature, brewing times 30/30/10/10/10/…./20/30 ... s as desired
