The perfect smoky tea with a sweet finish
In the Banzhang Nadameng reservoir, a top-quality nature reserve on the famous Bulang Mountain, grows the sought-after pu-erh tea known for its smokiness and lasting aftertaste. Tea masters hand-pick the buds and leaves from tea trees, heat them over a large pan, and shape them by hand-rolling before stone-pressing into a traditional tea cake. The resulting tea is full of buds and leaves in beautiful shades of olive that brown as they age naturally over time.
This tea also has been served at L'appart, a Michelin-starred restaurant in NYC that offers a French tasting menu prepared by chef Nicolas Abello.
