Mt. Lushan cloud mist tea is one of the ten well-known teas in China...

Mt. Lushan cloud & mist tea is one of the ten well-known teas in China.Starting from Han Dynasty,the planting history of it is more than 1,000 years. It is appointed as " TRIBUTE TEA" in Song Dynasty.

Lu Shan Yun Wu is one of the ten famous teas, it is from Jiangxi province, home of the Lu Mountains. It produces a clean, clear liquor with a refreshing taste.The tea is at its best with water temperature below boiling, infusing one to three minutes.
     
An old saying claims this tea increases longevity. The same mountains that make Mt. Lu Shan one of the most beautiful peaks in China, and a celebrated resort, make the area good tea country. Lu Shan is located in Jiangsi Province in a cleft between the Yangtze River and Lake Poyang, both of which help provide water for the mist and clouds that wreathe its peaks. 
     
Much anticipation this year has surrounded the legendary Lu Shan Yun Wu. One of the most famous of the world's green tea treasures,The distinctive characteristics of Lu Shan's "Cloud and Mist" tea are immediately apparent: large elegantly twisted silver buds and small, delicate jade green leaves present a hearty, sweet aroma and an utterly unique and subtly textured flavor that's both savory and almost sugary in its sweetness, with a long, distinctively nutty finish. A must for the green tea aficionado.

It is famous for "dense flavour,bright look,fragrance,clear water"and sold home and abroad. Savouring the tea,you will find it looks like Tuo Tea but softer in taste.Just like a green jade contained in the cup.Using the natural sping water in Mt. Lushan,the flavour will be much better. With the influence of the short cooling and misting climate and time of sunshine, the tea is featured as thick leaves,lots of ting furs,dense flavour,enduring for adding boiling water many times,being richin tannins, aromatic oils and vitamins. The Cloud & Mist Tea can help in digesting, disinfecting,preventing from dysentery, intestinal inflamation,chronic gastritis, sepsis and so on.

Zhu De,a top leader of China,once made a poem on Mt. Lushan Clond & Mist Tea.He praised,"The flavor of Mt.Lushan Clond & Mist Tea is dense and intense.It is a macrobiotic and healthy way to drinking the tea evermore.
