Overview
Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses
GENUINE PRODUCT of the Menghai Tea Factory. Characterized by a small ticket with a manufactured date inside each teacake. This particular vintage year have all the characteristics of the series and yet feels lighter, with a subtle taste of dates and ginseng. The teacake has loosened up substantially after 2 1/2 decades of ageing in our professional warehouse in Hong Kong. Tea Appearance: liquor deep chestnut brown. Infused tea leaves are very dark brown, almost black, 6 to 8th grades rigid tea leaves with branches. Scent: Aged wood fragrance. Taste: Traditional smooth ginseng flavour, stimulating, aged wood and dates taste. Multiple steepings and quick release of taste.
