A wonderful green tea from the same general area and red/ purple/ green leaf tea trees as the Lai Châu Deep Forest Moonlight White. 
 
The tea trees in this area are growing to heights of 10+ meters in the deep forest at 2200m+ in elevation. The rich biodiversity and natural growing conditions really make their way into the cup.
 
This tea brews up slowly into a rich, clear golden soup. The flavor is unique and complex. Reminds me of forest flower honey, herbs and wild grasses. Just a touch of astringency, no bitterness, thick mouthfeel, rich huigan and relaxing qi. A great option for warmer days and when you are looking for a unique green tea experience. 
Another interesting aspect of this tea is the aging potential. I have tried teas from past years and they get sweeter and richer over time. The honey notes become more prominent as well. 
 
I admittedly am not much of a green tea drinker but this one really struck a chord with me for its uniqueness. 
 
This tea is very flexible with brewing parameters but I like using 5g/ 100ml and long steeps at 85-95 degrees. This is also a good candidate for grandpa brewing and boiling.
