Description
“Shan Hou Gu Shu” (lit. Behind the Mountain Old Tree) is a mountainous area in Jinggu County of Simao where 100-250 year old tea trees are growing. Shan Hou tea trees are Assamica varietal growing wild without intervention. Tea is harvested only twice a year, not 4 times a year like in many places. This gives the tea more strength, body, aroma and cha qi!
Shan Hou tea is thick and sweet with a strong pungent almost savory mushroom broth-like texture and taste. Very infusable tea that gains intensity gradually and then platueas gradually petering out. Goes 10-12 infusions!
