Overview
This is a small farmer pressing from Lincang wet-piled teas. Aged in Lincang for 7 years and then in Guangdong (Dongguan), which has given this an ultra-smooth texture with little mustiness and no wet-pile taste. There is a kind of medicinal sweetness to it and a cooling, almost mint-like after-taste. It's a great tea for mug or thermos brewing and can become thick and creamy with very long steeps. Compression is not overly tight and the tea will completely decompress when brewed with multiple steeps (gong fu style) or using a single long steep in a thermos. 357 Grams per cake
