TASTING NOTES:

NUTTY

Warm and comforting, nutty notes echo roasted almonds, hazelnuts, or cashews, adding depth and a smooth, savory finish.

GRASSY

Bright and verdant, grassy notes offer a clean, fresh flavor reminiscent of spring meadows or newly cut hay.

UMAMI

Deep and savory, umami notes bring a satisfying richness, with hints of brothy or seaweed-like complexity that ground the tea's flavor profile.

REGION:
ANHUI, CHINA

Anhui, located in eastern China, is celebrated for its exceptional teas, particularly Keemun black tea and Huangshan Maofeng green tea. The province’s diverse terrain, including the iconic Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) range, provides ideal conditions for tea cultivation. With elevations up to 1,800 meters, the region enjoys cool, misty mornings and abundant rainfall, which allow the leaves to develop their distinct flavors slowly.

Rich, well-drained soils further enhance the quality of Anhui’s teas, while traditional techniques bring out their signature characteristics—floral, smooth, and occasionally smoky notes for which the region is renowned. Anhui’s tea culture reflects centuries of artistry, producing teas that are both elegant and deeply rooted in Chinese heritage.
