Each batch is unique, making the production extremely challenging due to the lack of precise human control. Every tea leaf is truly a gift from nature.

Tea Liquor: Luminous ruby red, crystal clear
Aroma: Natural bouquet of flowers and fruits
Brewing Longevity: Maintains its fragrance beyond ten infusions
