Lincang Beng Cha - Sheng (Raw) | 2008 Vintage
Pu-Erh Sheng (Raw) Yunnan.
Year: 2008 [04/16]
Weight: ±357g
Made from tea trees in the Lincang region of Yunnan province, this Pu-Erh Sheng has matured to perfection in our Hong Kong warehouses.
Flavor profile: Its golden liquor offers initial notes of smoky cedar, camphor, and menthol, comforting and warming to the throat. It then evolves into fresher floral notes with a beautiful length on the palate, leaving a sweet sensation on the finish. The almost 15 years of aging of this Puerh tea cake have allowed for a balance of all its rich notes; the perfect age to consume it. A grand cru.
