This tea ranks among our top favorites, a distinguished Pu-Erh from the 1980s. Although it's a shou Pu-Erh, it exhibits a delightful sheng Pu-Erh taste, characteristic of shou Pu-Erh teas from the 70s and 80s. It offers an exquisite plummy flavor with a hint of camphor, providing a full-bodied, smooth, and vivid mouthfeel. The sweet aftertaste is pleasantly lingering.
