Old Grove Mei Zhan 2023

Another classic small workshop tea. A True Zheng Yan tea from the center of the central region of the "San Keng Liang Jian" or "Three ravines and Two Streams" of the ecological reserve.

Notes of toasted nori, umami, and a persistent and sustaining sweetness. Due to being grown deeper in the ravines and gorges, old age, deep roots, limited sunlight, ample water, and breeze flowing through the both sides of the crevices of tall cliffs creates a very subtle and tranquil tea. This Old Grove Mei Zhan has a rock rhyme "岩韵“ and Qi like feeling that sinks far down and then flows up after drinking. This really surprised me during my first time brewing it.
