As the name suggests , I feel blessed already 
Just another example of marketing around the tea business.
There is a place in Tibet called Mo Tuo ( or Mêdog ) which is compare all those high elevation around only around 1000m alt and some places can even go down to 600m alt.
More details here.

Apart of bananas also tea is grown there in small scale and for the moment only Red and Green is available ( some news came out that also Dancong varietal is in process of planting ) .
It us a beautiful place , but forbidden for foreigners. ( I've double checked it with Tibetan guide yesterday )
Video from one cn girl on motorbike here :
The tea box includes 12 x 4g of loose black tea . From aroma of brewed leaves can smell sweet notes as Jin Jun Mei ( kinda Fujian concept of blacks ) . It's not heavy roasted and processing is clean without any smoke. First infusions are sweet - sour and all that diminishes around 4-5th.
It costed me 198 CNY ( 27$ ) for basically 48g of black tea. The tea is Ok , but not for this money.
Anyway, I was just curious. If you are as well , I can share some of those pouches.
