 "Huang Shan Gu Shu" (lit. Remote Mountain Old Tree) is a mountain in Jinggu County of Simao where 100-300 year old tea trees are growing.  Huang Shan tea trees are Assamica varietal growing wild without intervention.  Tea is harvested only twice a year, not 4 times a year like in many places.  This gives the tea more strength, body, aroma and cha qi!

The brewed tea is pungent, full-bodied and with layered bitterness and sweetness mingling together.  It can be steeped many time without losing steam.  This tea is certainly good for aging and will be noticeably more delicious and textured as times passes.

Exceptional quality

"This tea is exceptional for its price. Very complex. Fruity, bitter, slightly sweet, good body. I get a lot of lemon and grapefruit in the taste. Recommended."

— Maximilian V. (5/5)

Right Balance

"I am happy to have found this particular gu shu. It seems to hit the right balance for me. Flavor, aroma, astringency, mouth feel and most especially a strong but not aggressive cha qui. A very fine tea indeed. Will buy again. Updafte: Sneaky cha qui. Quite the head rush after 4th pot. As is the case with most gu shu."

— Alán (5/5)

Sophisticated, simple elegance in a cup

"I've been trying many of Scott's teas over the years and this one still remains my favorite. I'm so glad I decided to go for the whole cake this time. The fresh leaves are better than I remembered. Lovely honeysuckle aroma with something like green wood in the background. It's so clean and elegant. The cha qi is very grounding and the mouthfeel speaks for itself. Highly recommend folks at least try a sample."
