The leaf is very well graded displaying uniform leaf size with a little bit of tip. Tip is the tip of the new shoots and during the manufacturing process these tips turn a gold brown. Tippy tea is a leading indicator of exceptional quality, selective grading and usually only available in the first few weeks of the new season (New season teas have the most flavor, rarest and most eagerly sought by tea connoisseurs). Chingwo County has been known as Mao's Long March Tea, in that it is a good quality tea that is reasonably affordable by the proletariat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChingwo County Orange Pekoe is made from locally grown Daibaicha tea bushes. These bushes are renown for their stout full flavoured and origin distinct taste and wiry leaf appearance. The best way to describe the full flavoured taste is to think of a full-bodied red wine with a lovely dry pungent or oaky character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChingwo County Orange Pekoe is an excellent self-drinking tea, particularly suited for afternoon tea with dainty cucumber sandwiches followed by creamy sweet vanilla cookies. The pungent character of the tea and the delicate repas beg you to consume a second pot of Long March Tea - psst... If the truth were known: this tea will make you feel totally bourgeoisie.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fujian Province - Chingwo County\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e OP (Orange Pekoe)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2500' ft. - 4500' ft. above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orthodox\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full bodied with pleasant origin distinct character.
