{"title":"Cross-Strait Collaboration","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese teas are the result of a unique cross-strait collaboration between two renowned producers--both named Mr. Luo--from Taiwan and China: a project that Spirit Tea had been hard at work organizing and funding out of curiosity and love of the craft. Our team brought Taiwan's award-winning craftsman to Yunnan, the birthplace of tea, to blend his refined processing techniques with Yunnan's rich terroir, high elevations, and biodiversity. The outcome is a series of seven exceptional teas, each offering a distinct character--Taiwan's influence brings out heightened aroma, while China's methods lend a silky mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"aroma-returns","title":"Aroma Returns","description":"Yunkang No. 10 is also called the \"Huigan\" cultivar--referring to the \"returning sweetness\" or \"returning aroma\" that lingers in the throat long after drinking.
