Description
Golden Beautiful Eyebrow is a black tea made exclusively from the buds of the early spring harvest. That is why the dry leaves have a golden appearance.
Being a bud-only plucking, it requires about 50,000 buds to manufacture approx. 500 grams. To make a pound of this tea requires the full day’s work of 20 pluckers. This is a key reason why bud-only teas are more expensive. In fact, Golden Beautiful Eyebrow tea is currently one of China’s most expensive black teas.
