— Why We Selected This —

We selected this No. 999 expression for its exceptional pedigree and the producer's meticulous selection process. Da Yu Ling's legendary resistance to multiple infusions and its graceful evolution across steeps make it a masterclass in oolong craftsmanship—a tea that rewards patience and contemplation with each sip.
