Huangjincha No.8 — Micro-Lot
The Scarce Selection, Allocated by Batch
The selection domestic buyers treat as the ceiling of the origin. Tightly rolled, even, with visible tips — made in genuinely small quantities.
About this grade
No.8 is the selection that domestic collectors seek out by name. The finished leaf is tightly rolled and unusually even, with pronounced tips and a dark lustre that reads more like a finished craft object than a farm product.
The aroma is layered: floral on first approach, then sweeter and more fruit-like, with a honeyed note underneath. Quantities are small enough that we allocate by batch rather than quote open-endedly.
For an importer building a range, this is the lot that justifies the shelf next to it.
