Overview
A Kunming aged ripe from a classic Menghai area tea factory! It's composed primarily of "Golden Bud" grade ripe tea leaves. Pressed in 2010 from Menghai area wet-piled tea leaves and then aged in Kunming until now, this tea has developed into a lovely sweet ripe pu-erh. Golden Bud (aka Jin Ya 金芽) is a fine tippy grade of ripe that is unique from gong ting and golden needle (jin zhen). It's typically very golden and and is comprised primarily of buds. The flavor is smooth, creamy, sweet, and fruity, with a slightly bitter dark chocolate after-finish. This tea has plenty of aged taste and complexity, good staying power, long lasting mouth-feel and warming cha qi. An incredible bargain for an aged ripe pu-erh! 357 Grams per cake 2010 Pressing Spend $250 or more and get a 357 Gram cake of 2010 Chunhai "Jin Ya" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake of Menghai FREE!
