Spring harvest tea leaves from Bo Nan Mountain in Long Yang county in Bao Shan prefecture (of Yunnan). Pressed tightly but stored in tropical Lincang town for 7 years this lovely tea has light wet storage character, but still remains very clean and full of character! The brewed tea is sweet, floral, but balanced with some slight astringency and bitterness to make it very expansive in the mouth (and to the senses). Tea soup is orange in color. An excellent choice for the budget conscious pu-erh drinker who likes complexity but also wants some age behind it. 357 grams per cake 7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong
