China: North Star Bei Dou 2014

正岩北斗 2014 “North Star Bei Dou”  

The Bei Dou cultivar is a descendant of the legendary Da Hong Pao “Big Red Robe” mother tree in Wu Yi Shan, grown within the Zheng Yan production area. This highly sought-after cultivar is rarely available, especially in its handmade variety aged for a decade. Boasting a balanced but robust flavor and an enthralling aroma, it exemplifies the quality of its lineage. Only a limited quantity available!

Since 2017, Ye Qitong, a well-known Intangible Cultural Tea Master, has been meticulously handcrafting our Wu Yi Yan Cha. With a careful selection of premium varietals grown in the Wu Yi Shan Gorge, the result is a collection of expertly-made Cliff Rock Oolongs, considered some of the most exceptional teas in China. These teas are distinguished by the age of their trees and the use of traditional charcoal-firing techniques.
