Whenever Dayuling tea is mentioned, people immediately think of “higher than Lishan,” “expensive tea leaves,” or “tea gardens that get snow.” But beyond that, what makes Dayuling tea so special that tea connoisseurs hold it in such high regard?
- Sweet aftertaste without bitterness: Grown in high mountains over 2,300 meters with large temperature differences between day and night, the bitterness of the tea leaves is significantly reduced. Dayuling tea offers a smooth and lingering sweet aftertaste that ordinary high mountain teas simply cannot match.
- Thick leaves and rich aroma: The cold alpine climate slows down leaf growth, and with generous use of organic fertilizers, the leaves grow much thicker than those in lower-altitude areas. As a result, Dayuling tea produces a full-bodied brew with a rich aroma that is exceptionally smooth and easy to swallow.
- Distinct mountain aura: This is the defining characteristic of Dayuling tea, featuring a unique local mountain aura combined with a distinct fruity note. The alpine fruitiness creates a robust throat-sensation, leaving a fragrant lingering finish in the throat and a lasting aroma at the bottom of the cup—truly exceptional.
