Bei Dou "North Star" 2023 (Mid-High Roast)

Bei Dou, aka "North Star", is another rare varietal, grown from the clippings of one of the five Da Hong Pao mother trees.

This Beidou, is a true Zheng Yan rock tea, grown and harvested from a garden close to north of the ecological reserve's center. Crafted in the traditional dark roast style (left to rest for a year now), with three successive rounds of roasting over longan fruitwood each lasting around 15 -18 hours. 

The body is very mineral rich broth-like.

This tea is best enjoyed by traditional brewing of Gong Fu Cha, "brewing tea with mastery" in a small clay vessel of 100ml - 120ml , using 4-6 grams. 

It's traditional crafting make this tea a very good one to store and age as well. With time it will transform into a more thicker and viscous texture.
