This tea uses an ancient cultivar Shi Ru 石乳 from the Song dynasty that was almost forgotten until recently became trendy again. Until few years ago it used to be blended with Da Hong Pao, but this batch is a single bush traditional version of the tea. 30 Years old trees grown in Da Wang Feng 大王峰, a place considered "zheng yan" - full rock tea.
The tea was first introduced to our Blind Tasting Club members in February this year.
