Song Luo[1] Tea


There is'nt any real Song Luo tea outside an area of a dozen mu[1],
only one or two family posses
the refined skill to prepare Song Luo tea. Lately the tea hand baked
by mountain monks is even better.
Real Song Luo tea is produced at the foot of the Dong Shan [ Cave
Hill ] and on top of the Tian Chi[Heaven Pool], highly
treasured by people in Xin An county [2]. It is also a favourite for
the people of Nan Du and Qu Zong counties,
due to its ease in brewing and intense aroma.
