Tasting Notes of Spring 09 crop

Bamboo Green
Limited quantity
Each bud resembles a bamboo leave in shape and dark emerald color. This tea is one of the most unique in appearance and taste. One can literally smell the bamboo leaves rustling in the wind when enjoying it. An expert harvester can only hand pick 1/2 lb. of raw leaves a day, so delicate and demanding the choice of bud size. The buds must be able to shift through a fine shifter for the top grade. Grown on rich red soil at E Mei Shan, Bamboo Green is one of the top rare teas of China.
