Overview
This is a new Xiaguan pressing for 2018, but a blend of of mao cha between 5 and 8 years of age. It's pressed as a very tight iron cake, which will allow it age in even the most humid conditions. If you plan to dry age it, or drink it now, you've already got a lightly aged tea to start out with! Very enjoyable tobacco, fruit and mushroom broth tastes in this tea. Typically Xiaguan, but older than the 2018 in the title suggests! 357 grams per cake (7 cakes per paper tong). ***Box may be damaged in transit.
