About 2018 Good Fortune Pu'erh Ripe Tea Cake 357g

Our 2018 Good Fortune Pu’er Ripe Cake uses sun-dried Shaiqinmao tea leaves (Yunnan big-leaf variety) from the Blang Mountain area. It is produced by Fuhai Tea Factory in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan province. The tea is specifically picked in early spring.

The taste of the tea is strong, mellow and powerful with an earthy, woody flavor. It has a very strong and impressive, lingering sweet aftertaste. Because it has been aged for three years, it also has a special, rich Chen fragrance. The tea soup is pure and clear, wine-red to amber in color.

    Fun little tea package which is shaped like a cake. It has a great taste and the condensed tea leaves are good value as they make a lot of tea.

    This is a great start to the day. Bold enough to replace your morning cup of coffee, with easily as much complexity and strength.
