This tea, skillfully made by blending aged loose leaves with leaves originally broken off from aged tea cakes, has been matured for over 20 years in Hong Kong. The city's ideal humidity and temperature have expedited its aging process, more so than in a climate like Vancouver's. The dry leaves have transformed into a deep brown color, consisting mostly of loose leaves with some small chunks. The resulting brew is a clear, deep reddish cherry amber, exuding a comforting aroma of woody and earthy notes. On tasting, it presents a mellow, smooth, and full-bodied profile, yet remains dynamic in mouthfeel. After three infusions, the tea develops a pronounced plummy flavor, enriched with a sweet aftertaste. Emitting a soft and soothing energy, this tea is expertly blended for a sublime everyday drinking experience.
