Gentle & Smooth
Appearance & Taste
Unlike other Pu’er raw teas, which have a rough bitterness in the mouth, the taste of Yiwu Pu’er is very gentle, mellow and sweet. A mild, pleasant bitterness at the first sip transforms into a lingering, sweet aftertaste within 20-30 seconds. Tasting the tea carefully, a very delicate plum and honey aroma emerges. Since it has been aged for over four years, it also has a very special Chen fragrance. The tea soup is bright yellow, nearly golden.

A surprisingly refined taste for a raw tea. Very easy to drink, with a subtle, sweet aftertaste
