Description
This Grand Cru is produced by the Dao people, an ethnic group that migrated from China to the mountainous provinces of northern Vietnam, including Cao Bo, where this tea is harvested. It is a shu pu erh, which means it has undergone accelerated fermentation.
This full-bodied intense tea offers woody, spiced and fruity notes with a sweet touch that brings to mind liquorice stick.
This tea is organically grown and has been certified by an approved independent testing center.
