Description
Terroir & Character: Xigui is a legendary village nestled atop the steep granite riverbanks of Bangdong Township, Lincang. Operating at an uncharacteristically low altitude for Yunnan tea (750m), Xigui ancient trees benefit from the unique microclimate of river humidity and scorching mountain sunshine, creating tea of peerless intensity and aromatic nobility.
Distinctive Appearance & Aroma: Characterized by slender, dark green ‘willow-leaf’ leaves with hairless backs and virtually invisible stems. When brewed, the liquor releases a captivating bouquet of wild mountain orchid and rare wood-fungus aromatics.
Palate & Energy:
- Taste: Bright golden broth with delicate initial sip that reveals sudden layers of strength. A subtle mineral astringency melts almost instantly into surging throat sweetness and salivation.
- Cha Qi: Deep and warming, harmonizing the aristocratic elegance of Lincang teas with the raw commanding power reminiscent of Lao Banzhang.
Net weight: 357g traditional cake.
