Overview
Yiwu is a very large tea growing area in Yunnan and has a lot of diversity of character in the teas produced there. Gao Shan village is located in the NW of Yiwu town and has a lot of high quality tea tree gardens. We are excited to be able to offer a Gao Shan cake. Gao Shan sheng puerh tea is characteristically sweet and delicate with wild honey notes. This tea does not disappoint! It has very clean and clear forest notes. It has hints of campfire aroma. It is a very enchanting tea. It is smooth and soft with delicate herbal notes followed with a simple bitterness. For a sheng puerh tea it has a very special earthiness. You can really taste the forest. This is a very grounding tea with a lot of depth. The bitterness and astringency are very well balanced. We only have a few of these cakes available for sale.
