Overview
Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses
This lovely little tea cake is composed entirely of Yi Wu area old plantation tea bushes. The area is just outside of Ma Hei village not far from Yi Wu town. It's entirely first flush of spring production and has that characteristic Yi Wu aroma and taste. The cake has been stone-pressed in a small tea factory in Yi Wu giving it just the right amount of compression to age well in non-tropical climates! Tea weight: 250 grams Vintage: Late March 2010, pressed in May 2010
