“The Scent of Four Cups”, a popular and affordable green tea from the Meng Ding Mountains. The name of the tea derives its character with a beautiful, intense sweet aroma … which is not all, because there are four aromas hidden in the tea, which manifest themselves gradually, with each infusion one of them, which dominates the cup, comes to the fore – hence ‘aroma four cups’.
Sparkling yellow infusion sharp, slightly astringent and strong taste with an intense floral-fruity trace on the palate and with a slowly fading slightly spicy aftertaste.
All of this year’s teas from Meng Ding Shan 蒙顶山 come from a smaller organic plantation from higher elevations. The price of these teas is slightly higher, but it reflects the quality and origin. Pictured below is a snapshot from our tour of the gardens, an elderly lady collecting tea is the mother of the plantation owner.
