About 2016 Yiwu Pu'erh Ripe Tea Cake 357g

Our 2016 Yiwu Pu’er Riped Cake uses sun-dried Shaiqinmao tea leaves (Yunnan big-leaf variety). It is produced by Biming Tea Factory in the Yiwu Mountain tea-producing area in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan.

The taste of this tea is very gentle, mellow and sweet. Tasting the tea carefully, a very delicate plum and honey aroma emerges. Since it has been aged for over three years, it also has a very special Chen fragrance. The tea soup is pure and clear, dark wine-red to amber in colour.
