Description
Legend of Flying Tigers integrates the classic temperament of Dayi ripe tea and inherits the traditional fermentation technique. The delicate control of the tenderness of tea leaves and the maturity of fermentation provides unlimited possibilities for the later transformation of tea products.
The tea is remarkably dense, potent, and rich, yet simultaneously gentle, devoid of any harsh bitterness. It's less like a tea and more akin to a tincture; consuming it gives the impression that ancient monks concocted an elixir to cure all maladies.
Shelf life: Suitable for long-term storage under storage conditions
Ingredients: Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried aged tea
Appearance: cake shape pressed tea
For curious minds: The Flying Tigers, also known as the American Volunteer Group, were a brave and selfless group who risked their lives to protect China during WW II. Their solidarity with their Chinese allies is truly admirable.
