This tea is crafted using raw materials picked from Dashu (unpruned big trees, less than 100 y/o), setting it apart from the common Dian Hong teas harvested from modern plantations and processed in large batches. Additionally, the appropriate aging process over a decade imparts depth to the tea, resulting in a flavor profile somewhat similar to our 2012 Aged Gushu Dian Hong: mellow, complex, and clean, although at a much more economical price. However, it's important to note that there are significant differences between this tea and the 2012 version, primarily due to variations in raw materials and storage conditions.
