Description

Behold the Golden Water Turtle! Legend tells of a turtle who, after one thousand years of meditation achieved godhood and was chosen to become Heaven’s Tea Gardner. Feeling that his hard work often went unnoticed the turtle god soon became discontent. One morning he awoke to the sounds of tea farmers celebrating their first harvest. The turtle god realized he could bring much more joy and be much more appreciated as a tea plant and instantly gave up his immortality to become this tea which you now hold. Classified as one of the top 5 teas from the Cliffs of Wuyi in Fujian Province, this dark tea is excellent for breakfast or any other time of day.
