Gu Shu Dian Hong
£1.80 – £7.00
This Dian Hong tea is made from leaves of ancient trees, also known as Gu Shu, a classification approach commonly used by tea growers. These trees grow separately from others, often in forests with other trees (not tea), and derive life energy from them. In some parts of China, this type of tea is also referred to as “wild,” such as in Wu Yi. While the age of the trees may not necessarily be ancient, they are undoubtedly older than bushes. The key difference between these trees and bushes is that they have a higher level of vitality and are not treated with chemicals. As a result, this tea may not have an attractive appearance, but it possesses a powerful, deep, and long-lasting taste that is sweet with a slight bitterness, a floral aftertaste, and an enduring aroma. This tea is ideal for those who enjoy classic Dian Hong tea.
