The Journey
Mount Lao is among the most significant sites in Daosim. This lot was grown in the gardens beneath the mountain range in the northerly Shandong province of China. The decision to grow outdoors (as opposed to hoop houses) challenges the tree but creates a delicious, sweet and layered cup. While Lao Shan village region focuses almost exclusively on green tea processing, Mr. He’s hybrid oolong rolling and black tea oxidation profile, coupled with an aromatic roasting creates a unique sweet and toasty profile.
