Product description：
In the period around the first frost, as temperatures drop and the temperature difference increases with minimal rainfall, tea plants rely on dew for growth. During this time, young tea shoots grow vigorously, and older leaves become thicker, containing rich nutrients. The branches, leaves, and roots of the tea tree are preparing for the onset of flowering.
Therefore, it is advisable to harvest the leaves at the right time, slightly sweet with a sensation of sweetness (some describe it as sugarcane sweetness), resulting in a fragrant and sweet taste.
Old Cha Po Process:
Harvesting of older leaves around the first frost.
Steaming to halt oxidation.
Drying (either sun-drying, roasting, or air-drying).
