Mei Zhan is a varietal is originally from Anxi area of Fujian, and has been grown in Wuyi for more than 80 years. In the Wuyi area it's typically processed like a rock oolong (roasted), but our offering was processed into black tea in the tradition of Tong Mu. Mei Zhan is also grown in Fuding, where it is used for both black tea (Bai Lin Gong Fu) and white tea (Bai Mao Hou). It's a drought resistant varietal that adapted well to the rocky conditions in Wu Yi. Our Mei Zhan grows at an altitude of 850 meters in the Tong Mu Village area, and was processed 

The tea has a strong thick taste, with notes of fruit, sweet corn, and orchid flowers. Very smooth with good body and a thick viscous mouth-feel.

This tea was picked in April at an elevation of about 850 meters!
