- Description
- This tea is named "Eco Green" because those tea trees grow ecologically rather than in plantation style, which means the leaves take more effort and labor to be picked. This tea was harvested on March 25, 2022 from high mountains of Ya’an, whose growing environment makes the tea bear richer content and more complex taste. It has a nice balance of buds and leaves because the picking grade is one bud one leaf, just somewhere between MengDing GanLu (all buds) and MengDing MaoFeng (one bud and multiple leaves).
Shipped in April 2022
