This special oolong originates from distant mountain slopes, where dense fogs embrace the tea plantations from morning till night. The rich volcanic soil and cool mountain air create unique conditions for the growth of tea bushes, giving the leaves depth and character. Locals say that it is these eternal fogs that give the tea its mysterious and calming soul, carrying the silence of the mountains and the blessings of ancient spirits. Each leaf is like a gift from nature, waiting to be discovered.
