Gu Shu Dian Hong from Jinuo Shan

Gushu Dian Hong from Jinoshan is a red tea with a vibrant aroma and strong effects, sourced from large, old tea trees (Gushu). The leaves are harvested from trees approximately 150 years old in a high-altitude tea garden on the slopes of Jinoshan Mountain. The developed root system of these ancient trees enriches the leaves with microelements, while the high-altitude environment ensures ecological purity and a favorable climate for tea cultivation.

Jinoshan, also known as Yule Mountain (攸乐), is one of the Six Famous Tea Mountains, located near Jinghong, the administrative center of Xishuangbanna.

Aroma: Bright, bready, with pastry and dried fruit notes.

Flavor: Sweet, balanced, and rich. Notes of sweet dough, baked goods, and apricots, with a pronounced berry tartness. The aftertaste is juicy, honeyed, fragrant, and full-bodied.

Effects: Warming, powerful yet calm, invigorating, and concentrating.

Harvest: First flush, spring 2024, Jinoshan Mountain (Yule), Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, China.

Brewing Instructions: We recommend using an Yixing clay teapot for a more rounded and powerful flavor. For infusion, use 5-6 grams of tea per 100 ml of water. First infusion time: 3-5 seconds. Use boiling water. Set aside more time for your tea session, gather friends or loved ones, and enjoy the experience. This tea is also excellent for brewing over fire (according to Lu Yu) — it will unfold densely, richly, and maximally express its aroma and effects!
