2021 Youle Gaogan Ancient Tree sheng of old tree leavesOur first year making tea from Youle it wasn't really in our plans for this year until we were introduced to someone who'd been collecting this tea for the past 15 years. Normally he buys the full harvest from these few trees, but agreed to share some of it with us this year. It's from gaogan (tall pole trees) growing in the protected forest in Youle mountain. Youle isn't known for its gaogan trees and he asked us to keep the exact location a secret.
