A workhorse, easy going day in and out. This special production fermented tea is made with high mountain young leaves, usually reserved for green tea; this promoted the proliferation of the very desirable “golden flower” in the bricks. It is also excellent as butter tea or soup base.

About this Tea
This special production fermented tea is made with high mountain young leaves, usually reserved for green tea; this promoted the proliferation of the very desirable “golden flower” in the bricks. It’s not only delicious but also particularly gentle on your stomach. It is a very important part of the diet of Tibetans and Mongolians; you may also try it as a base for soup (e.g. onions, mushrooms & tea).
