NEW! Golden Buddha

Golden Buddha is a black tea from Anxi County, Fujian Province, China.

Golden Buddha black tea is made by Mr. and Mrs. Tang. Both of them graduated from Fu'an Tea School (this school is nearby the Fujian Tea Research Institute). They were reunited a couple years after their schooling and decided to move to Xiamen, where they have a small tea shop and are raising two kids. They make tea in the spring and autumn and spend the rest of their time selling tea in the city.

The Tang's are very knowledgeable about tea processing and have experience in the tea fields. They have fully harnessed the character of the Ti Kwan Yin cultivar by strongly rolling the leaves and also slightly shaking them during production. This tea comes out extremely fragrant and the leaves themselves are fat and downy.

This tea is grown at over 800 meters of altitude and the PH value of the soil is 5.5. These are perfect conditions for this cultivar.

We hope you enjoy the Golden Buddha!

    How wonderful enjoy a visual on the Tang family. Photos of the plants growing, plus all the careful steps taken to give us excellent tea to savor was very informative.
