<p>Tie Luo Han, cultivated on Wuyi Mountain of Northern Fujian Province in China, traces its early history back to the Buddhist cave dwellings of Wuyi Mountain. Luo Han (Arhats in Sanskrit) were Buddhist Deities said to have magical powers and posessed the ability to live indefinitely in order to preserve the Buddha’s teaching. The cave dwelling, rendered rich and moist from water shoots falling from the cliff walls above, was home not only to the protectorate Buddhist Deities but as well the first of the Tie Luo Han plant varietal. The name Tie Luo Han is combined of two parts, Tie (Iron) and Luo Han (Arhat). Tie refers first to the dark coloring of the leaves appearance,while Luo Han refers to the strength and impenetrability of the protectorate warriors who resided within the cave.</p>
<p>This tea exhibits smooth, lingering smoked characteristics and warm, high notes of orange aroma and floral fragrance. The deep fermentation and the exceptional plant varietal combine to offer a beautifully complex yet effortlessly enjoyable tea. </p>
<b>Tasting Profile</b>
<i><b>Leaf:</b> Long, slightly curled, high roasted leaves
<b>Infusion:</b> Highly transparent, light amber, glistening infusion
<b>Aroma:</b> Pure, floral and delicate smoked aromas
<b>Taste:</b> Sweet honey smoked flavors and floral orange tones</i>
