    • Qianjiazhai YeshengTea Varietal

    This tea is wild picked by Master Zhou in the oldest tea forest in the world. The leaves in this cake are from trees between three hundred and five hundred years old whose roots draw nutrients deep from the soil. The leaves are hand finished and stone pressed using traditional carved molds. The biodiversity of Qianjiazhai gives immense complexity to the flavor of this tea.


  • 'We’ve gained an entirely new perspective on pu’er. Normally we think of aging the leaves as the main factor in influencing flavor, but age can also come from the maturity of the tea plant itself.'
