This Pu-Erh tea cake is one of the rare certified organic teas, originally produced for the royalty of the Dai people. Made from wild tea trees in the Xishuangbanna region of Yunnan province, this Pu-Erh Sheng (raw) was produced from a pre-spring harvest. The combination of Banzhang Lapsang leaves and a pre-spring harvest (pre-Qingming) offers a very aromatic and smooth tea with no astringency.
It has matured to perfection in our Hong Kong warehouses.

Taste profile: Its golden liquor offers a very lively aromatic bouquet reminiscent of flowers and dried fruits such as dates, with a subtle hint of menthol that quickly disappears. Sweet and silky on the palate, it gives a creamy impression with a sweet finish. This is a very interesting and tasty Pu-erh, with a very atypical profile - a must-try!
