Hailing from Tongmu of Wuyi Mountain in Fujian, this high-quality black tea offers an aged fir flavor, mingling mountain and wildflower scents. Sourced from 100-year-old tea trees at 5000 feet altitude and picked once a year, this tea is a treasured must-have for veteran tea drinkers seeking an authentic, profound experience.

- Grown on the centuries-old tea trees in Tongmuguan, the birthplace of the original Lapsang Souchong, this high-grade black tea comes from a pristine ecological environment. The trees, covered in moss, are only harvested once a year, resulting in limited annual production.

- The leaves are thick, dense, lustrous, uniform, and full of elasticity, embodying the rich content typical of old tree tea leaves.

- Beyond the classic floral, fruity, and honeyed aromas of black tea, it carries a unique old fir tree charm and a wild, forest-like essence. Drinking this tea is like stepping into an ancient forest, offering a deeply immersive experience.

- A high-quality black tea with exceptional endurance in brewing. The aroma and taste evolve with each infusion, leaving a strong and lasting aftertaste. It's an exquisite choice for treating esteemed guests and for the discerning tea connoisseur.

- Distinctive for flavor and mountain scent.

- Nectar aroma combined with a strong woody scent.

- Floral and fruity-sweet, alongside woody and moss flavors in the tea water.

- Rich with wildflower scent, evoking the essence of living in the mountains.

- Richly layered flavor, sweet, mellow, and refreshing with a long-lasting sweet aftertaste and mouth-watering sensation.

- Origin: This exquisite black tea originates from Tongmuguan, known as one of the top passes of Wuyi Mountain and revered as the birthplace of black tea. The region is celebrated as a "Paradise of Birds," "World of Insects," and "Key to the Biological Gene Pool of Various Species." At an altitude of more than 1000 meters, the tea area is perpetually surrounded by clouds, fostering the development of rich substances found in high-mountain tea.

- Process: The tea is made from the wild Caicha in Tongmuguan, where it grows naturally and possesses unique properties. The traditional tea-making processes of rolling, fermenting, withering, and drying are employed to craft this quality aged black fir tea. The result is a tea shaped into tight black ropes covered with hoarfrost, embodying the natural essence and traditional heritage of its origin.

Veteran tea drinkers and those who appreciate an authentic, matured black tea flavor.
