Laoshan Handcrafted Gongfu Black (1 oz)

Laoshan Gongfu Black (1 oz)

Laoshan Gongfu Black is a hand-twisted craft black tea from the He family in China. This tea has been grown using old-school organic farming techniques on the rocky foothills of Laoshan, protected by ocean mist and fed by sweet spring water.

First flat-pressed, then hand twisted, Laoshan Gongfu Black is a difficult finish that brings out sparkling minerality in Laoshan tea. Notes of pomegranite, fudge ganache and clove.  This tea highlights Mr. He’s delicate and meticulous hand rolling and straightening technique developed in producing Pine Needle Green, but introducing traditional sun-oxidation to make a rich and deeply complex black tea. The result is Lashan’s most mineral-forward and complex black tea to date. This tea is fed by mountain spring water, picked by hand, and cultivated sustainably using traditional chemical-free farming techniques including growing rows of soybean between rows of tea to restore nitrates to the soil. The finished tea picks up the rocky minerality of the soil, and careful low temperature roasting brings out deep brown sugar sweetness.

We have a very limited quantity of this exceptional black tea.
