This tea was produced from old and ancient trees growing at 1200-1300m in elevation in the Cao Bồ commune area of Hà Giang.
 
Cao Bồ is about an hour and a half drive from Hà Giang city.
This is a tippy tea harvested with a 1 bud-1-2 leaves standard so you can expect a highly fragrant brew. 
 
A cocoa and warming spice, honey fragrance emerges after the first rinse. Complex warming spice, honey, malty cocoa flavor with nice minerality. Rich mouthfeel and lingering sweetness in the throat. Nice clear headed and energizing qi effect with a rich, lingering effect in the mouth and throat.
 
This tea is flexible but I like to brew it at 85-95C for medium steeps and then 100C for the later steeps
