The Gongfu Handcrafted Black Tea Sample originates from Tongmuguan in the Wuyi Mountains, Fujian Province. Grown at an altitude of 1,000–1,500 meters, this region is nestled within a pristine Central Asian subtropical forest ecosystem.

  • Slightly sweet, with a smooth and mellow mouthfeel that lingers on the palate.
  • A rich smoky flavor is beautifully complemented by subtle hints of pine wood, creating a layered and complex flavor profile.
