Wild tea trees from Da Xue Shan in Yongde county. The leaves have gone through the partial "ti xiang" ( high temp. roast ) , but very short time to just reduce the accesive sourness which Ye Shengs tend to have. That can be noticeable in brewed leaves as roast nutty touch in aroma , yet not much reflected in taste it self. Clean fruity sweet tea is...
