This is a small Menghai area tea factory production composed almost entirely of tippy ripe leaves! The blend is their take on the classic Da Yi "Golden Needle White Lotus" blend. Several years of aging in Dongguan (Guangdong) has given this tea a warm, bright, fruity and sweet character. It's got a vibrant, full-bodied mouth-feel with a creamy, smooth after-taste! Although this is a small producer "knock-off" of the classic Da Yi recipe, it's certainly a worthy investment for anyone looking for a smooth and delightful tippy ripe to guzzle down! 2016 Pressing by the Menghai Green Lake Tea Factory. 357 Grams per cake
