Sad to see this one go - more is on it's way but thank you Canada post for being on strike for an eternity! I'll be happy to have this again.

From Yunnan Sourcing
This is a Tong Mu village area Jin Jun Mei that is processed with low heat and short frying times to preserve the trichomes (leaf hairs) on the leaves. The original character of this tea plus the careful processing has given this tea creamy chocolatey taste that is joyous to experience! There is also fruit and malt, and (if you brew long or with super hot water) a slight astringent character. Careful brewing with initially cautious (short) steeps brings out the best in this lovely tea!
