Overview
Sheng Pu-Erh tea leaves have been molded into a unique cake that celebrates the Year of the Horse. Embossed on the front is a noble steed, its mane blowing in the wind. This compressed cake steeps a light golden-amber liquor with an herbaceous aroma that hints of earth and citrus. The medium-bodied cup has a refreshing mouthfeel with notes of fruit, toast, wood, and earth. A pleasant brisk quality lingers in the finish. This 7-inch diameter tea cake will yield approximately 165 6-ounce cups. Embossed on the back: a map of the old Tea-horse Road, with this inscription: Old Tea-horse Road This is an age-old, network-like international trade channel in southwest China. It has two main arteries: the Sichuan-Tibet artery and the Yunnan-Tibet artery. It extends westward to India and west. Goods transported along this road include tea, horses, salt, handicrafts, silk and medicinal materials. Because all the goods are carried on horseback, this road is known as the old tea-horse road.
