This tea was picked in Nantou, Taiwan January, 2010.This tea was declared “grandmother tea”, by two separate customers, on two separate occasions because of the scent. The three elements of aroma, texture, and flavor are distinct, unique, and of high enough quality that this tea really stands out. It brews to be an amber rose color; the aroma is a floral bouquet with some distinct rose, or grandmother, depending on who you ask.
