Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses
A hand roasted bamboo raw Puer blend made from bitter, bud heavy material. The bamboo processing of this tea means that the leaves are broken up, so the tea will brew faster and stronger due to the increased surface area. Fired and pressed in 2022, rested until 2023 spring before release. A really intense punch in the face type of raw Puer. Not for the faint of heart. If you fear bitter intensity, don't buy this tea. If you haven't stopped reading by now, you should probably try it. Each piece of bamboo was pressed with 200 grams of tea.
