2024 Yunnan Black Tea Red Tea Wild Gushu Old Tree Purple Bud

This rare wild black tea is made from purple buds of wild tea trees (Gushu) that grow in the primeval forests of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan province.

Wild purple bud is a native wild ancient tree in the primeval forest of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan.

 This wild black tea is so rare. Wild purple tea buds have a high anthocyanin content and a unique wild floral and fruity aroma with a natural coolness. The tea soup has a high aroma and is delicious in the mouth. The sweetness is high, and the fragrance lingering charm is deep and long.

However, this purple bud black tea is very resistant to brewing. After 10 brews, it still has a faint and long tea fragrance. The aroma of the tea soup does not disappear; the fragrance is dissolved in the soup.
