The tea is grown in Fuding in the Fujian province of China at an elevation of 1,000 metres.
The leaves are harvested before dawn to preserve their delicate vegetal qualities. After picking the tea is withered in the sun and once again indoors. A light heating is applied to remove the remaining moisture.
