High humidity and prevailing ground fogs gave the tea its name. These teas are nurtured and cared for following controlled organic cultivation in the western part of Zhejiang, at altitudes of 800 m where there are lots of sunny days with not too hot temperatures. The finished leaf is a sight for sore eyes: rich, dark green colour, evenly worked and slightly curly. The infusion is shiny and scented as well as smooth and grassy. The flavour surprises with fresh and spinach-like aromas and hints of algae, which could also stem from a Japanese “Tea Maker”. For sure a tea which you should get to know a little bit closer!
