About this Product
Origin: Phousan Tea Mountain, Xiengkuong, Laos
Cultivar: Indigenous assamica broad-leaf
Harvest: First spring pick 2022
Elevation: 1200-1400m
Our 2022 rectangle brick pressing of the mid-spring harvest is complex and floral with notes of tree sap and fragrant resin. The sweetness of honey and fermented fruit aromas are balanced with pure essence of dew and minerals of the earth. One year of resting and it is already showing its potential as one of our favorite tea terroirs. The aftertaste carries a mouthwatering sweetness and refreshing energy. The fermented fruity aromas give way to an emerging pungency, stimulating strength and minerality that builds up in the subsequent brews. The brick tea is pressed from withered and hand-rolled long buds and sweet stems, so the sweetness and mineral taste comes out slowly and elegantly over the course of many infusions. A session with this tea is really refreshing. The Cha Qi energy keeps giving long after the teacups are dry. It is a bit romantic if not metaphysical to note that the energy of the forest and ancient tree tea roots transmits something different and special through the embrace of this tea.
