Green tea from the Chinese region of Yunnan, known as the region of eternal spring, near the border with Vietnam. Made from large rolled-up leaves resulting  from a painstaking drying process which gives just the right amount of smoky flavour. It is a green tea that is different to those generally known, robust, with a great deal of body, astringent nuances and a sweet and smoky aftertaste.

It is a cool and digestive drink. Most of the antioxidants, essential oils and nutrients are concentrated in the plant shoots, so while we enjoy the tea we benefit from these properties.
