Dark Horse | Dark Tea

Description

Deep and powerful. The full body is forgiving, but the mouthfeel is strong. It has that salt-of-the-earth character of wheat and hay, seashells and clay, with just a puff of smoke at the end.

Harvested and produced May 16-20, 2025 by Mr. Zhang Xing on Jiao Jian Mountain, Anhua County, Hunan Province. It’s a one bud, two leaf pick of the local big-leaf cultivars growing at 1,900 feet.
