From Verdant Tea

This year Mr. He decided to experiment with his hand-twisting and rolling technique developed on Pine Needle Green in making a Wuyi Gongfu Black style tea true to Laoshan. The delicate treatment makes this tea yield many infusions and brings out the roasted marshmallow and chocolate s’mores quality of fine Laoshan Black. The He family is excited to release a very limited harvest of this new innovation for us to enjoy.

This tea is so good. I just brewed in my tea mug with infuser basket instead of doing gongfu (Even though Gongfu is in the tea’s name.).

It was chocolate, bread, malty & sweet. Deeeeelicious! I am not sure what the big difference is between this one and the 1st picking Laoshan Black. Both are good but I might have to brew side by side to tell the difference.
