This is one of Master Zhou's all time favorite teas. He kept ten and gave us the remaining thirty to share, as 2011 was a great year in Qianjiazhai, the Gu Hua harvest is his favorite for its rich full body and the Xiao Jin Gua pressing is much looser and more delicate which allows for even and fast aging. Already the tea is a beautiful red color, and full of the spice and nuance that five years has helped to build up. Extremely limited offering!

'This Spring, we were lucky to return to Qianjiazhai to meet more of the talented people behind Qianjiazhai’s old tree pu’er and black tea. Through the cooperative, these families and individuals can work together the share resources and knowledge, teaching and learning from each other while protecting and acting as stewards over tea trees in the oldest tea forest in the world'
