A nimble-bodied Keemun with a spry and sprightly texture. The strong mineral character and high aromatics of sweet rose give it a natural, pastoral appeal.
Produced April 27-28, 2023 by Mr. Wang Wen Feng in Likou Town, Qimen County, Anhui Province. It’s a one bud, two leaf pick of local cultivars growing at approximately 2,000 feet.
