The “Heavenly Peaks of Longevity” was made in 2011 in Gaojia-xi (Anhua county, province Hunan) by the traditional technology. It contains bacteria Eurotium Cristatum (Golden Flowers or Jin Hua), which is extremely beneficial for human health. Tiny yellow globules (which are actually bacterial colonies) can be seen on the surface of tea leaves and the bigger they are, the higher is the product quality. Except for tea leaves, Golden Flowers bacteria lives on Longevity Mushrooms, Fu Ling (Poria cocos).
In appearance: small brown flagellum of twisted leaves. The aroma is restrained, woody, with herbal and tobacco hints. The infusion is transparent, with chestnut shade.
The bouquet of brewed tea is mature, complex, with notes of autumn leaves, spicy herbs, oak moss and dried fruits. The aroma is deep and low, woody, with herbal hints. The taste is full-bodied, soft and sweetish, with spicy nuances and refreshing finish.
Brew tea with hot water (95-100°C) in a gaiwan or a teapot made of porous clay. The proportion is 5 g per 100 ml. The time of the first steeping is about 6-8 seconds.

The “Heavenly Peaks of Longevity” is a good choice for everyday tea breaks. The effect is warm, moderately tonic.
