Description
This tea is harvested in Jingmai, in the Yunnan region of China. It is a true curiosity as its production is inspired in equal measure by oolong, green tea and white tea, giving it a unique aromatic profile. Its poetic name means "rainbow of Jingmai".
A surprising Grand Cru with delicate vegetal and floral notes that are enhanced by its elegant powdered texture.
