Tan Yang Gong Fu

One of the famous congou teas from Fujian, picked before April 5 (Qing Ming). Tan Yang was very popular from 1870 to 1930 and exported to Europe.  With civil unrest and wars, production declined and nearly stopped.  Enduing tradition has brought it back. Strong notes of burnt sugar and caramel hit your nose first and then fill your mouth.
