A project that began in 2019, this tea is a culmination of several years of experimentation with charcoal roasting Puer. The Injured Coast blend was sent to Fujian province to be charcoal roasted by hand by veteran Wuyi Yancha makers. The result is a truly unique tea. A blend of 2020 and 2021 raw Puer teas, roasted in autumn 2021 in Fujian and rested until pressing this spring. Fruit and flame, injured coast has a thick and intense honey suckle sweetness balanced with the charred intensity from the roast. Beautiful tea. Each mini is ~7g.
