Honey Jia Long 'King's Grade' 2018 Special Lot

• Harvest: Summer 2018 - {LIMITED QUANTITY]
• Oxidation: 80-90%
• Production: GABA, Secret Technique
• Farming: Taiwan Organic

A special 'King's Grade' selection of Honey Jia Long with limited availability. A yet-to-be-patented, anaerobic processing technique gives this highly limited tea a one-of-a-kind character. Mr. Chen's confidential processing technique increases the tea's natural content of GABA, a rare neurotransmitter responsible for regulating stress and sleep. Known by the locals of Wenshan, Taiwan as “Jia Long,” this 2018 special lot brings floral notes with the beginning of its first sip, followed by a deeply fermented plum finish, all of which gains added depth and complexity from aging. Highly oxidized and unroasted, its character hints toward that of a fine red tea, while still maintaining the complexity and aromatics of the oolong that it is. We find it to be one of the most superb teas in our collection.
