It is mainly produced in Fengqing, Lincang, Yunnan, where tea trees grow particularly well due to the beautiful scenery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom the moment you open the package, you are met with a liveliness that only a true first flush can provide. The dry leaf—plump, downy, and shimmering with golden trichomes—radiates a scent that is sharp, sweet, and incredibly fresh. It smells of fresh wildflower honey stirred into a cup of barley water, with a high, crisp note that recalls the snap of a ripe pear. This is not the heavy, raisiny scent of autumn harvests; this is the bright, electric energy of spring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAncient Tree Golden Needle is an exceptional black tea processed entirely by hand in early spring.

If we say that the taste of this tea, whose secret apart from the skillful processing is also the perfect balance of the ratio between young buds and pertaining leaves. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe abundance of golden downy buds, which are rich in amino acids, produces a rich and complex chocolate liquor.
