It has been long argued that the famed Lu Shan Yun Wu tea should be included as one of the top ten most famous teas of China, and for good reason. Grown in the beautiful Lu Shan (Lu Mountain) of China's Jiangxi province, where cool, misty weather and short periods of sunshine ensure that only the strongest tea plants survive and thrive. The tea plants grown under these conditions grow slower, but produce much more flavorful teas. Lu Shan Yun Wu is known for it's thick and tightly-rolled dark green tea leaves and a clear bright cup with long-lasting flavors and aromatics. Its rich mouth-feel and long, sweet lingering finish helps solidify the argument of why this tea belongs on the elite list of famous teas of China each and every time you take a sip...
Best prepared with water at 70-75°C. Use 5 grams of tea in a 6 oz. gaiwan and infuse for approximately 1-2 minutes. A longer infusion time will produce more intensity and astringency; a lower water temperature and/or a longer steeping time will reveal more subtle flavors and aromatics. Always adjust quantity of leaves, infusion time, and water temperature according to your personal preferences.
