2022 Cha Wang Shu 600 YO Tree Black Dragon Balls
Our one of favorite blacks coming from Cha Wang Shu (Tea King Village), in dragon ball form. Tea trees in this area reach age of over a thousand of years, this tea comes from trees estimated around 600 yo.
Balls are sized around 5g each and we tend to use one for smaller brewing vessels and two for larger ones. Similar to loose leaves in its character but showing some sides more than other due to compressed form.
I found woody and herbal notes that I could find in loose leaves instead of citrusy, bright notes found in loose leaves. It never seizes to amaze me how compressing tea can affect its character.
If you love this tea as much as we do, we are happy to offer it in very convenient form and as way to experience yourself how have it changed after making it into dragon balls.
