An aged shou Puer tea with clean south China storage perfect for a daily cup. A lovely soup that looks likes an aged red wine with woody character over a layer of subtle sweetness. A little too easy to drink, if you ask me. Each cake is 357g.The true date of this tea is unknown, though mid-2000's is our best guess. This inner ticket is also unknown to us, but a bit of research shows that this company was disbanded for reasons of fraudulent activity in the mid 2010's. If you're looking for a tea with a clear origin, this ain't it. If you'd like a nice shou Puer to drink that has settled into middle age, it's an excellent choice.
