A special tea from the upper slopes of Pu Ta Leng Mountain. The raw material for this tea comes from ancient trees growing at an altitude of 2200m+. Some of the trees here are 20+ meters tall! The leaves of these trees take on a dark-green purplish color and have a wild look to them.
 
The tea trees used to make this tea are a non-Sinensis, Camellia varietal. Research on exactly which varietal they are is still pending!
 
This is a tea for purple tea lovers! This tea has a wonderful sweet slightly sour, complex fruity floral fragrance with a tingling cooling sensation that builds in the throat.
 
The qi is energizing and uplifting. Drinking this tea always puts me in a great mood.
 
Longer steeps at 80-90 degrees work well for me.
