Zhi partnered with a dear friend of ours who has a company called Golden Leaf that produces esoteric goods of several kinds. Has amazing layered flavors, superb mouthfeel, and mellow energetic qualities.

An incredibly fantastic raw Pu-erh made from Wild Pu-erh tree leaves that have a dark purple color.  This Wild Tea is naturally dark in color, and is heavy in anti-oxidants and catechins.

Ye Sheng  varietal aka "Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze var. assamica (J. Masters) Kitam" is a primeval varietal that pre-dates Camellia Sinensis var. Assamica and is a naturally occurring non hybridized varietal. It's potency in cha qi arises from its unadulterated nature. It is naturally bug repellent, and grows wild in the forests of Yunnan at an altitude of 1600-2200 meters.

The quality of the leaves and the meticulous processing ensures excellent storage and aging potential. The infused liquor is bright and is almost completely without bitterness. There is strong full taste in the mouth and a warm stimulating feel in the mouth and body after drinking this tea.
