Wu Dong Song Zhong

A very beautiful Fenghuang Dandong of outstanding quality, that needs much attention. The leaves come from over fifty year old bushes that grow at high altitude on Mount Wudong. They are of the sub-varietal Songzhong. The tea is carfully crafted and moderately roasted above charcoal from litchi-wood. Songzhong, "Song (dynasty) Varietal" means, that cuttings were taken from a tea trea from the Song dynasty, i.e. which is at least 700 years old. New tea gardens were grown from these cuttings. The tea bushes themselves are not so old, their genetic material, however, is, which is reflected in its taste.
