This 2010 Manzhuan Arbor offers a strong, juicy flavor with a thick liquor and excellent body feel. It delivers a satisfying mouthfeel, making it a highly recommended choice for those seeking a vibran. It leans juicy, thick and full-bodied.

Water around 95–100 °C (203–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–20 s steeps (10–20+ rounds). You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Rinse the leaves once with boiling water before your first real steep. It cleans off storage dust and gets the flavor going.

Grown in Yunnan, China. This batch is from the 2010 harvest.
