Description

The Li family are third-generation smallholders in the coveted Zhengyan ( true cliff ) designation of Wuyishan. Dyed in the wool yancha makers, they produce a mixture of varietal classics, new breeds as well as atypical cultivars. The latter is the case with this Ba Xian (Eight Immortals), an erstwhile dancong stock. The family s mastery of slow charcoal roasting melds the heady florals of the Phoenix into rich spice and immortelle. With its final roast completed in fall of last year, this production is rested and ready for steeping and sharing with friends.
