This unique green tea is part of our selection of so-called Famous Chinese Teas and was grown and made in its birthplace, the Xishandao island on the Tai Lake in Jiangsu, China.
The Jin family only produces small amounts of this tea every year as production is very time consuming as it takes place in a wood-fired wok and is entirely hand made.
The outcome of this meticulous process is a very satisfying green tea with a beautiful and complex flavour profile that balances savoury and oolong-like floral notes.
