This tea is the earliest curled Laoshan Black from the He Family of 2025 - carefully crafted with hand-picked early spring shade-grown buds. 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 these early "Da Peng," or shade-grown pickings has more sweetness and lingering aftertaste than later harvests.
