Sky Lantern 2023 Ripe Blend
A delightful and exclusive blend that’ll have you shooting for the stars. Comprised of expertly ripened leaves from Simao and Kong Ming, picked and processed in 2023. These have been crafted so well that even in their presently young state, you will not detect any post-fermentation funk. Funk is only a good thing in music and attitude and does not belong in tea :)
Organically grown, robust and clean, you’ll be brewing up hints of dark chocolate like bitterness and a smooth, almost fruity sweetness. Buy a bunch and know that this one will only get deeper in both flavor and aroma over the next several years. The energy of this tea is potent, ready to launch you skyward!
