This tea hails from Yiwu mountains, one of the six historical pu'erh tea mountains of Yunnan province. This tea is well made by the prominent local pu'erh tea producer Song Ping Hao mark, one of the oldest pu'erh tea firms, established during the Qing dynasty. It is a well-blended tea, after six years of aging, it tastes mellow and smooth, has sweet aftertaste. Very refreshing. The first several steepings have a very slight hint of smokiness which was the trace of how the puerh tea processed in the older days.
