This is a powerful tea cake made entirely form first flush of spring 2012 material from Yong De county in Lincang. Strong and astringent taste but not without a good protracted mouth feeling. Limited edition production! 500 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo tong) **Pictures of wrapper are from 2012, other pictures are from 2011.
