Gu Shu Purple buds 2023
Ha Giang, Vietnam.
This is the most expansive tea in Vietnam at a particular moment. This is a unique and rare tea and let us explain to you why.
First of all this tea consists only from buds from 400 till 600 years old ancient tea trees. These trees can be up to 5-7 meters high what makes picking leaves a very hard and even dangerous job. Secondly, this is a unique kind of tea tree, which has purple leaves instead of the usual green ones. It became purple after several geographic and climate reasons. This type of tea tree is very rare what also makes picking leaves a very hard and long job. And thirdly such old tea trees give a little number of buds once a year in spring, which reflects on the quantity of the final product. As the result, we have a rare type of tea that is very hard to pick and produce.
From first sight their flowers and berries in the aroma of dry leaves. But when you brew it you will get nice clear liquor with notes of fresh peach, flower honey, and dried apples. You can feel a nice menthol chill on the tip of your tongue. This tea harmonizes and relaxes, worms and refreshes.
This is the experimental batch picked and produced under the guidance of the Vietnam Tea Association. There was made only 2 kg of this tea and we are very proud to represent such a unique product to our clients.
Harvest: Spring, 2023.
