A blend of 2011 and 2012 autumn teas from Xishuangbanna. Entirely wild and ancient arbor teas from four distinct areas of Banna. Nice balanced blend that delivers strong mouth-feel, aroma, complexity and infusability! "Gu Hua Xiang 谷花香" is Chinese for "Autumn Aroma"! Our Autumn production is stone-pressed by traditional method and dried with low temperature air drying. The cakes are then wrapped in special paper that is very thick and sturdy. Hand-Made by Dai minority families in Xishuangbanna! Each tong of 7 cakes is wrapped in bamboo leaf! Tea weight: 400 grams Vintage: Autumn 2011-2012 material, November 2012 pressing Quantity: 80kg in total produced Area: Xishuangbanna (blend)
