Like all of our teas, we only source the "Grand Cru" version of Cloak of Heaven (Zheng Yan Cha) through our exclusive relationships with the most sought after tea farmers in China.

About Cloak of Heaven

Most teas that are from "in the Wuyi mountains" (also known as "full cliff" teas) are hard to appreciate for the uninitiated Wuyi rock tea drinker. It is hard for newcomers to enjoy the delicate drinking experience that occurs beneath the forward layers of minerality and roast.

Cloak of Heaven is different. This is a great bridge between the gentler rock teas from Ban Yan ("half cliff") to the more advanced Zheng Yan ("full cliff") teas. Once you drink Cloak of Heaven, you'll understand what you like and dislike about Zheng Yan teas.
