Tea leaves grown at high altitude are rich in compounds, and they are characterized by a soft, concentrated flavor and a vivid flavor that returns after drinking. In Phoenix Town, leaves from high altitudes are also regarded as very rare, and because Ba Xian trees have weak vigor and rarely live long, the number of old trees is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10299\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0774\/6224\/files\/IMG_3251.jpg?v=1771316198\" alt=\"Tea bushes on a steep slope below a rocky mountaintop\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\"\u003e \u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10301\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0774\/6224\/files\/IMG_4019.jpg?v=1771316197\" alt=\"A tea bush on a hillside with distant mountains and a lake\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBa Xian, a Cultivar Especially Popular in Chaozhou and Shantou\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBa Xian is a highly popular cultivar not only in Phoenix Town but also in Chaozhou and Shantou. The reason lies in the clarity of its refined, vivid orchid-like flavor. It is known as the \"Zhi Lan Xiang aroma type,\" and it has depth not only in flavor but also in taste, with an excellent balance of sweetness, smoothness, and lingering finish. Lao Cong Ba Xian in particular is rare, and tea grown at high altitude sells out quickly even on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10298\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0774\/6224\/files\/IMG_9180.jpg?v=1771563626\" alt=\"A white cup of golden tea\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Captivating Flavor of Ba Xian, Woven from Orchid and Fruit Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea was slowly charcoal roasted at a low temperature and finished in the Qing Xiang style. Centered on the elegant flavor of orchid and lily flowers, fruit notes of pomegranate and raspberry are layered in complexity, giving the flavor depth. This is a tea to enjoy for the vivid returning flavor that rises after swallowing. Because it was grown in a high-altitude tea garden, the mouthfeel is soft and creamy, and it drinks gently and clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"HOJO Tea","offers":[{"title":"15g (small bag)","offer_id":44932459888816,"sku":"o029ca","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"40g (in can)","offer_id":44932459921584,"sku":"o029cc","price":5400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"120g (large bag\/40g x 3 bags)","offer_id":44932459954352,"sku":"o029cb","price":15900.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"360g value pack (large bag [40g x 3 bags] x 3 bags)","offer_id":44932459987120,"sku":"o029cv","price":38900.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0774\/6224\/products\/o95_01.jpg?v=1737905814","url":"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/en\/products\/o29","provider":"お茶の専門店HOJO \/ HOJO CO., LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
