Optimal pile fermentation requires a significant amount of material. The 2015 leaf, amounting to about two thirds of this blend, was gathered throughout the spring, summer and autumn months from several Jingmai Mountain villages. Immaculate fermentation and subsequent storage have preserved leaf potency and resulted in an exceedingly smooth liquor. We knew from the first time we tried the loose material that this would be our tea!
The remaining one third of this tea is composed of leaf specially selected, crafted and pile-fermented by Mangjing Village herbalist Su Wenxin. While we were initially skeptical about including such recently fermented material in this blend, the loose leaf quickly assuaged our concern. In fact, we were so compelled by Doctor Su's efforts that we decided to offer a special unblended version.
