More about this product

This tea was picked in April 2012 in Yong Chun, Fujian Province. Yong Chun is only a few miles away from Anxi, where Iron Buddha is produced. The terroir is very similar, but slight differences in elevation, soil and processing methods produce a noticeably stronger, fuller and richer taste in Buddha's Hand.

Tasting notes

This fo shou tea has quite a strong taste, and that's how the Yong Chun locals like it. You can either try to brew it light (10-20 seconds, 90 degree water) or just embrace the tannins and natural chlorophyll taste by brewing for 30-40 seconds with just off the boil water.
