Highlights

This delicious 12 year-old shu pu-erh tea hails from Mengku, Yunnan, China, made by a prestigious pu'erh tea factory. It has Chinese authority organic product certification, and is aromatic and fruity. This tea has very little earthy taste, unlike other musty shu puerhs that you find on the market, and is very smooth and naturally sweet, with a hint of roasted plum and black cherry. If using the gongfu method, the first five steeps are very floral, and it gets sweeter with each steeping to the very last. It is a pleasant journey exploring the nuances of each steeping of this wonderful tea.  

This tea cake weighs 400g.
