Hands down the most beautiful, sublime black tea ever tasted- in my life, which is a lot of tea by my advanced age. Bailin Gongfu from Pan Xi Village, made from nearly extinct Small White Varietal, made by Mr. Zhou, third generation devoted tea master, otherwise a school teacher in spare time.
This is a connoisseur batch he considers ‘middle top’ grade. If this is middle top, is there a leader grade?
‘No way’, said Mr Zhou. ‘I refuse to gift to government officials, they don’t appreciate it. ’. That is why there is no market for his sublime tea- he’s unwilling to grease the palms. I vow to introduce this to our fine community- at 100 times more expensive than commodity black teas but 10,000 times better!
