Lao Jun Mei (Traditional Handmade)

$45.00

Our Lao Jun Mei Yan Cha is made using leaves from the prized Zhengyan growing area of Wuyi Mountain.  Lao Jun Mei, which means "Old man's eyebrow " in English, is one of the more unique and fiery Wuyi Mountain teas. Four Seasons Lao Jun Mei tea infuses into a beautiful dark tea soup with a sweet aromatic woody aroma.  The flavour profile is sweet and wonderful with a hidden floral and woody note and has a silky mouth feeling with a strong, deep sweet returning aftertaste only noticeable in Zhengyan teas. This tea is available in individual 8.0 gram bags. 2023/2024 is now back in stock!
