Product Description

Ancient Tree Golden Bud Black Tea (古树金芽) is a rare, hand-harvested black tea sourced from old-growth tea trees and covered in golden tips (金毫). The liquor is a luminous clear amber. The aroma is elevated and pure — high honey sweetness layered with a graceful orchid note. On the palate, it is exceptionally smooth and silky with clean, pure sweetness and virtually no astringency. A quiet mountain wildness runs beneath, grounding the tea without overpowering it. The finish is long and gently sweet, with sustained salivation and a warm aftertaste.
