Grown by the Lu Family, harvested with hulls intact (like brown rice), this is then toasted on the Lu Family’s tea finishing equipment for an even toastiness. This tea is nostalgic like Genmaicha or Korean barley tea, and makes a fantastic addition to your favorite Laoshan Green. Their finishing craft makes this incredibly rich, deep, creamy and packed with notes of caramel and brown sugar.
