Ancient Song is a wulong cha from Shi Gu Ping Village in Guangdong Province. They say the trees trace their lineage back to the Song Dynasty — a history difficult to prove but pleasant to ponder. Unusual for a Fenghuang Dancong, these old-tree leaves temper their floral disposition with a decent dose of cream and candy. Notes: honeysuckle, white wine, amigthalota

Tea Fact! Autumn flush is the name of the last tea harvest of the year, usually occurring October-November (Northern Hemisphere)

First flush, second flush, autumn flush...so many versions of the same tea, all depending on when it is picked! Do you know when you like your tea harvested?
