Story of a stone

Bug Bitten Bundle Organic

$30.00 AUD

Collected from the top reaches of the wild tea trees in northern Vietnam.

The leaves in these bundles, nibbled and naturally oxidized by bugs on trees are a blend of oolong, red and white style tea leaves.

 Some more bruised and bitten than others but all large and full of life. We found these in a tea house on our hikes through the mountains in the north of Sapa, Vietnam.

Picked, bundled and dried in the shade these bunches are a way of savoring the splendor of wild trees and harnessing natures wondrous process of tree oxidization aided by bugs.

These leaves are subtly red in body while lightly earthy like a roasted oolong. If brewed slowly they are reminiscent of an aged white tea.

Each bundle is between 28 and 35g
