The result is packed with deep minerality, “yun” and creamy florals – a powerful and commanding tea. Crafted by the Master Zhang Environmentalist and award-winning craftsman, Master Zhang is committed to pioneering low-impact tea farming that replenishes natural forests on his high elevation Anxi mountain plot.
