Baishaxi (白沙溪) is arguably the most well-known producer of Qianliang tea (and Anhua heicha in general) today, so the company likely needs no introduction. The Zhizun (至尊) QLC was a 2012 production, with allegedly “荒野” materials from 2007. (Keep in mind that terms like 荒野 and 野生 are used liberally in Anhua heicha, usually referring to somewhat rougher, high-altitude tea gardens rather than truly wild or untouched trees.)
The logs weigh in at 47.7 kg, or 95 jin (not a randomly chosen number). The materials are on the tender side, with gongjian dominating the mix, resulting in a robust cup with a flavor profile that differs from what I’d call the BSX huajuan “house style”.
Note: This tea may contain golden flowers (Jinhua/金花), a perfectly natural occurrence in certain heicha teas. Their development depends on factors like microbial activity, storage conditions, and time. However, individuals with Celiac Disease or severe gluten allergies should exercise caution, as we cannot guarantee that no wheat-based materials were involved at any stage of production.
