This tea is the earliest curled Laoshan Black from the He Family of 2024 - carefully crafted with hand-picked buds - the first new "Da Tian" buds to grow once the protective winter greenhouses are remove for the spring. After picking the buds are oxidized slowly to bring out sweet, chocolatey flavor. The He Family is offering this early Laoshan Black harvest to show off the wonderful flavor that their craft in roasting and oxidizing brings to tiny budset Laoshan tea. The stored sugar and nutrients of the earliest Da Tian pickings has more sweetness and lingering aftertaste than later harvests.
