Summarized by Shop
A young monk asked the wise tea master Lao Cha: – Sifu, why does the Cloud Tea from Lu Shan have such an exquisite taste? – The secret lies in its name: it grows on top of Lu Mountain, covered from harsh sun rays by the clouds and mist from nearby rivers and lakes. The seeds of this tea were planted by Buddhist monks hundreds of years ago.

Sweetness
This tea is similar to Japanese green tea with that umami flavor at first. What makes it unique though is the sweet aftertaste that lingers. I even prefer this tea room temperature.
