Similar to our 2016 Mint Condition, this tea presented a great value that we just couldn’t pass up. Using fall Guafengzhai (Chawangshu) material, there was an incredible fragrance and pleasantly sweet profile from the start. This hasn’t let up, as 10 years later it still has a sugary sweetness in line with high end Yiwu teas, but with a smooth character. Availability: 13 x 200g cakes
