Old Tree Lapsang

This Old Tree Lapsang is one of the Chen family's—and, by extension Via Tiempo's—dearest teas. This tea comes from centuries old trees in the birthplace of red (or black) tea—Tongmu Pass, Fujian. There at 1200-1400, the Wuyi Cai cha landrace cultivar grows wild in its original home. I am always transformed by its refined clean sweetness and a deeply nourishing energy.

Peddler's note: My nickname for this tea is the cave of wonders—it just leads deeper and deeper.
