Rare Lot # W
Grown on a small tea farm in the higher elevations of the mountains near Fuzhou, in Fujian Province, a tea maker and true "artisan of the leaf" processed the very aromatic and tasty Mei Zhan green-tea varietal in the traditional pan-fired Xan Bei Xiang style. His process creates green tea leaves in wonderful shades of deep-green to light-gray colors that cup to a clear liquor with complex, nuanced flavors and naturally sweet notes. This is a prized, slow growing varietal made with a leaf process that is "old school" and increasingly rare. His tea farm uses organic methods and his tea is delicious!

Tea Notes
Mr. W. makes this tea for his family's use. One visit, he offered us a sample; opened the door for us to purchase this lot.
Varietal, Mei Zhan, traditionally is made to a green tea. Demand for black tea in China is high, most of the crop was diverted to black tea.
