Handpicked from young tea leaves nibbled by green leafhoppers before the Manzhong solar term, this rare and precious tea offers a beautiful duality: the crisp honeyed sweetness of Oriental Beauty and the mellow richness of Dong Ding. It takes more than 6kg of tender leaves to produce just a single ounce of these golden tea buds.
