A 7g sample of this tea was included in the March 2024 tea club. Another one of these white2tea years in the making experiments. Aged raw Puer maocha from the early 2010's pressed alongside light ferment small batch shou Puer than is 3-5 years old in a blend meant to mimic tea with decades of age. Dark red soup, aged fragrances of the raw Puer maocha and a little bite, underneath the smoother, thick character of the shou. Recently pressed, as this tea melds together with age it'll be a lovely companion for age tea drinkers on a budget. Pressed in 2024. Each cake is 200g. The cakes are wrapped in bamboo leaf tongs, with five cakes per tong.
