Tea Profile Type: Black Tea (Zhengshan Xiaozhong 正山小种 / Lapsang Souchong) Location: Masu Village (麻粟村), Tongmu Guan (桐木关), Wuyishan Altitude: About 1300 m Harvest Date: May 24, 2025 Cultivar: Cai Cha 菜茶 (Qun Ti Zhong 群体种) Age of Tea Trees: Over 100 years The Story of This Tea Masu Village lies deep within the Wuyishan National Nature Reserve and is one of the twelve historic tea-producing hamlets of Tongmu Guan. At 1300 meters altitude, its climate is cold, windy, and often marked by frost or snow. The ancient Cai Cha bushes here grow slowly under these challenging conditions, developing concentrated inner substances and exceptional resilience. The environment is pristine. Moss-covered trunks, wild vegetation, and mineral-rich rocky soils combine to produce tea that is both pure and powerful in character. Old bush Zhengshan
