During our travels in Wu Liang we came across this incredibly well aged mao cha from 2007 spring harvest. It has been aged in a superbly clean and dry condition in Nan Jian township for 5 years! The brewed tea has a very nice and clean aroma with hints of camphor and orchid. The tea soup is a clear golden-orange color that hints at it's maturity. 400 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong).
