Suitong Cha

This Suitong tea (碎銅茶; broken copper tea) is a rare speciality from the fabled Shaowu mountains, a region known as the home of the mystical Tao master Zhang Sanfeng. The award-winning tea's rarity is due in large part to the rocky, impassable and spatially quite limited terroir, at an altitude of over 1,400m above sea level, which leads to very low yields. The mineral-rich soils as well as the secluded location result in a distinctly aromatic and very complex tea.
