A strong tea from an area in Lai Châu.
 
This area is an ancient tea tree paradise as you are greeted by some exceptionally big and tall ones upon entering the village. The tea trees here grow tall and quite naturally without much human intervention. The leaves here have big round leaves and thick stems. The people living here are H'Mông.
 
Big burly leaves and buds brew up into a rich green gold soup. This tea takes it's time to reach it's peak. Give it a couple brews, it will open up and brew strong.
 
This tea is intense but balanced with floral, herbal fruity notes and a fragrant wild forest character. Low-medium bitterness and astringency followed by heavy sweetness. Deep huigan and strong energy.
