Lushan Yunwu Tea Introduction
Lushan Cloud and Mist is a famous historical tea, known as “Wenlin Tea” in ancient times and “Lushan Cloud and Mist” since the Ming Dynasty. Due to the long-term infiltration of the flowing springs and waterfalls of Lushan Mountain and the influence of the moving clouds and mist, its unique quality has been formed: the leaves are thick and hairy, mellow and sweet, rich in nutrients, and can prolong life.

The quality is the best in the tea gardens of Hanyang Peak and Wulao Peak, which are at high altitude and covered with clouds all day long. When buying loose tea, first grind the tea leaves with two fingers.
