Cloud Mountain

Like a product of some rare alchemy, these large, twisted leaves and buds—grey, green, and golden—exude a fresh, tart fragrance that their appearance belies, as if enhanced by ancient magic. The piquancy of apricots or sour cherries melds with a smooth creaminess and a touch of forest honey, trailing off in a long and lightly floral hui gan. Though more commonly used for pu'er, gushu leaves have here been fully oxidised into a black tea, with a viscous, sirupy body and an endless capacity to surprise.

In fact, we've sourced it from a producer who specialises exclusively in gushu tea and shares our founding year. For that reason, we are pleased to offer their elegant boxes of 100 grams in addition to smaller quantities, for those who wish to savor the enchantment.
