The name "Hou De" (厚德) symbolizes depth and balance. Carefully selected, multi-aged raw teas are used, which are then freshly pressed. Dayi is considered a pioneer of modern Shu fermentation; continuous technological advancements ensure a clean, stable flavor profile. The packaging in bundles of seven, made of kraft paper, supports later maturation and is also suitable for collecting and gifting.
Store in a dry, well-ventilated place, protected from light and odors. Long-term storage is possible without problems under suitable conditions.
Recommended for use in a gaiwan or Yixing teapot. Gently loosen the tea leaves along the leaf structure. Short infusions emphasize sweetness and balance; longer infusions enhance body and depth.
People who cultivate their conduct and accumulate the power of the spirit drink it hot, and it quenches thirst, removes drowsiness and headaches, clarifies the vision, fills the limbs with strength; from it all one hundred joints easily begin to move.
It easily copes with hundreds of kinds of illnesses and, in its effect, is comparable to divine sweet dew.
