Tibetian Jin Jian Tea - 4x65g

A matured Tibetan dark tea (Hei Cha 黑茶, literally "dark/black tea") from the historic tea centre of Ya’an in Sichuan Province. Crafted in 2003 using traditional methods, it offers the opportunity to taste a tea aged for over two decades with a deep, grounding character.

This traditional original package contains four individually wrapped smaller bricks of 65 grams each. It is ready for immediate tasting, yet possesses great potential for further archival ageing.

The tea leaves originate from the misty Yunwu Shan mountains at altitudes above 1,200 metres above sea level. Traditional Kangzhuan (康磚) tea has been an integral part of tea culture in Tibet and the Himalayas for centuries. Following the harvest, the leaves undergo a specific process of slow fermentation and ageing at the Ya’an tea factory, giving the tea its signature smooth taste without astringency, accompanied by warming, woody, and earthy notes.
