Overview
This tea has an interesting history, as it was ordered from Hong Kong to be sold in Taiwan. To avoid export restrictions and possible political repercussions, it was shipped without a wrapper. The paper ticket has eight "Tai" characters and a "Cha" character in the middle of the traditional "Eight Jong Cha" logo. This tea has a rich, espresso-like character with a robust taste. It has a complex taste of spice, plum, and fruit. After a few infusions, a wonderful sweetness comes though all over the palette.Weight Per Brick: 250 grams
