The black tea companion to our annual raw puer production, this black tea leads with notes of caramel and baked pastry up front, while a honey scent remains in the cup. There is also a slight fruitiness in the fragrance, accompanied by a thick mouthfeel and smooth texture. This tea uses the old tree material from the same certified organic garden as our raw puer, giving it a layered fragrance and more depth than your average black tea. While black tea from traditionally puer-dominant areas of Yunnan has become increasingly more common over the years, quality can vary. In the case of this tea, it has been produced for 10+ years using traditional black tea processing techniques that have been carefully dialed in, resulting in a higher level of Dianhong/black tea than what is commonly found. $0.27-0.33/gram Picking Period: March 25-31, 2026 Region: Mengsong, Yunnan
