Product Overview
Lu Shan is located in Jiangsi province in a cleft between the Yangtze River and Lake Poyang, both of which help provide water for the mist and clouds that wreathe its peaks.
Here is where the Tea Sage Lu Yu wrote his famous book, which mentions Lu Shan Yun Wu tea.
The plant from which this tea comes has stout, thick leaves covered with fine white down. The shrub was grown as early as the Tang dynasty.

The rich hydration of Lushan Mountain results in sweet, tender buds and leaves that are filled with sweetness and abundant plant nutrients. The premium grade tea leaf features delicate jade green color and luster, and lingering fragrance, and contains a high concentration of chlorophyll and nutrients.

Brewing Guide: We recommend using glass-based or porcelain tea ware. Rinse tea cup and teapot with hot water. Use about 2 grams of tea leaves (1-2 teaspoons) for every 150ml of water. Steep tea leaves in hot water at 70°c (158°F) to 80°c (176°F) for 1 minute for the first and second brewing. Gradually increase steeping time and temperature for subsequent brewing.
