Mellow & Smooth
Appearance & Taste
Unlike other Pu’er raw teas, which have a very rough mouthfeel, 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.

A very refined tea. I was taken by its subtle fruity tones. One that I will try again.
