“Two by two, one helps the other strip a branch.
Each warns the other to not be slow
Because of the branch whose buds grow old
And the silky rain that will fall tomorrow.”
-Chinese tea pickers ballad about picking tea before the spring rains
Harvested before the spectacular April Rains, the body is refined and smooth with sweet, nutty nuances.
A popular and famous tea enjoyed as the Imperial Tea for thousands of years.
