Overview
Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses
Another Xinghai production, but this time made entirely from fermented Bu Lang mountain material. Strong thick taste with a good amount of bitterness. Cakes have been dry-stored in Guangdong. This has a imparted a kind of heavy camphor aged taste, but without moldy taste or other wet stored unpleasantness. Additional aging will reveal more complexity and overall goodness. 357 grams per cake ** Some wrappers may be bug-bitten with little holes in the paper. There may also be some dust between the wrapper and the cake. Rinse tea once or twice briefly before drinking! If you are squeamish please don't order this tea!
