Floral & Nectar
Sourced from a 30-year-old wild tea garden in Guanyang County, this 2017 Wild Garden Shou Mei represents the lightest and most floral cake in our seasonal collection. Unlike typical varieties, this selection utilizes only mid-to-large spring leaves, resulting in a brew that evokes the refreshing spirit of a humid summer rain while remaining warming enough for cooler months.
