Longpa Mt. 2006
Youle, China, Old Tree
Longpa Mountain is possibly the best-maintained peak of the You-Le Mountain area, one of the Six Great Tea Mountains with an elevation at or above 1300 meters. Above the tea area stands a boundary marker announcing an ecological conservation district where are large trees (as opposed to shrubs) of the small leaf variety, the oldest of which have lived for nearly a thousand years, with the majority having grown there for many hundreds of years already. The tea liquor is exquisitely smooth, abundant in oils and replete with energy. The flavor can be mild at first, with a long-lasting aftertaste - an elegant and high-quality tea.
