Description: This black tea is quite rare. Skill, labor and patience are necessary to handpick this highest grade of new spring tea buds. Golden Bi Lo is normally the highest grade available, but “wang” which means king in Chinese, designates the very top of the production. This is the best of the best. Produced solely from the buds of the tea plant, the taste is light, delicate yet very rich and naturally sweet.
