Aged Master’s White (2016)

Description

A wild picked tea harvested by our friends at Grass People Tree from indigenous Bird King 鳥王種 trees that are 400-600 years old, growing at an elevation of 1200-1400m in Pan Yin Mountain. The tea is processed using 100 percent natural, ancient methods without artificial heat and humidity by Master Lin in 2016.
