Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
This is a newish recipe blend first offered in 2004 by the Liming Tea Factory. It's a blend of Menghai area spring teas, that is tippy and potent! Aged for 4 years in Guangdong and then later in Kunming has given this a nice semi-aged feeling but without compromising it's complex character. An affordable semi-aged tea that is suitable for enjoying now, but with the right kind of stuff to be a worthwhile candidate for further aging! ** 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!
