Old Tree Lapsang

This Old Tree Lapsang comes from Wuyi Cai Cha varietal, the tea trees that were growing wild long ago, and continue now. The centuries old trees produce a small amount of leaves each year, there at the birthplace of red tea at 1200-1400 meters in Tongmu Pass, Fujian. Quite a rare treat, these moss covered trees produce a clean flavor and deep nourishing energy. This year's Old Tree Lapsang contains a complexity of flavors with a seemingly pure and straightforward feel—a winning combination. Our favorite note is a cherry cola—combining its sweet aroma with its darker tones. Peddler's note: My nickname for this tea is the cave of wonders—it just leads deeper and deeper. 2025 Harvest Pesticide-free Label 43, Tiger Steeping, Attuning to Vastness
