The ancient tea trees of Hua Zhu Liangzi grow between an altitude of 1,650 meters and 2,100 meters. The natural ecological environment is well-preserved, with the tea trees coexisting with native flora. The tea gardens are extensive, the ancient tea trees are tall, and their age is significant. Due to the consistently high temperatures and abundant rainfall combined with high altitude, the tea trees enjoy long periods of sunlight, resulting in thick, tender leaves. The tea soup is golden and bright, with noticeable floral fragrances, a fresh and rich taste, and a long-lasting sweet aftertaste.
