Considered by some to be one of the five most famous teas in China, this tea grows on rich organic soil, among wild peach trees in the beautiful mountains of Huangshan. The fine plucking consists predominantly of one leaf and a silvery down-covered bud. Huangshan lovers consider the first cup to be the most fragrant, the second the sweetest and the third the strongest. Throughout the infusions the flavor is complex, sweet-nutty with a hint of magnolia fragrance.
Recommendations: Use 3 tsp. per 6 oz. cup; heat fresh cold water until steaming (170 - 185° F); let steep for 2-3 min. Good for multiple infusions.
