Our first ripe production of 2012. Expertly fermented 2011 material from Jingmai area of Lancang county (Simao) was graded and pressed into this lovely 100 gram mini cake. This tea cake is composed of gong ting, te ji and grade 1 leaves and is the same consistency on the front, back and inside the cake. Light to medium fermentation gives this tea a strong taste and which stays in the mouth after drinking. High quality material appropriate for longer term aging! 100 grams per cake (10 cakes per bamboo tong). In total just 200 kilograms produced!
