The legend has it that the name of this tea was given by a monk in memorial of a courageous rooster that sacrificed his life while protecting his baby from an eagle. Touched by these courage the monk buried the rooster under a tree at the farm. When the monk returned the next year he saw a tea bush growing under the tree where he buried the rooster. | The legend has it that the name of this tea was given by a monk in memorial of a courageous rooster that sacrificed his life while protecting his baby from an eagle.
