Description: In the frosty Autumn after the rice flowers have bloomed in Feng Qing, the leaves are harvested from old and ancient trees. The flower pollen dusts the trees, giving the tea a clean, rich aroma. The tea has a golden-yellow color, a smooth, slightly bitter flavor with a sweet aftertaste. This cake is excellent for aging and collecting.
