Xin An Chu celebrates its third anniversary in July 2024. To mark the occasion and to thank our beloved customers like you for your constant support, we have crafted our new Commemorative Cake, using the freshest harvest of early spring 2024, carefully selected from the village of Man Pa Na (曼帕纳) in the famous Bada tea mountain, as well as the Dragon Ball made from the same batch of raw material.
We are pleased with this new production and have received very positive feedback from the first tasters who participated in the pre-sales. As of writing this description in June 2024, this tea presents intense floral and fruity notes along with maximum freshness, with a moderate bitterness in a very pleasant way and almost no astringency, leaving an impressive sweetness in the aftertaste. However, being a freshly processed tea, its taste and aroma profile will change rapidly. We recommend you try it soon and experience its transformation during the aging process in the future.
The privious version of the 2021 Commemorative Cake is still available on our website, with a special offer when purchasing both versions together.
