Wuyi Green (WuYi Qing)

Our Wuyi Green is described as a “wild” tasting green, the descriptor is apt for this unusual and boldly flavored cultivar. A local green, it was grown on a small farm in the mountains of Fujian Province. Leaves are a rich, deep green color after a traditional style pan firing that shapes the leaf into a small curl and adds depth in taste. The cultivar yields a natural nori flavor with some fruity notes. The finish is strong. Pre-Qing Ming harvest, April 2022. Lot # 1.

It is pan-fired green, a method of processing that sharpens the vegetal side of the cultivar. Tea was grown at an elevation of approximately 800 meters.
