Overview
Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses
The 2017 tuhao as fuck is a blend of raw Puer material with character similar to Laobanzhang, without using any actual Laobanzhang material. Slightly heavier bitterness than in previous years, with a follow up of sweetness, the character is aggressive.The tea itself is excellent quality despite not being “real” Laobanzhang. Aggressive in the first few years, this tea can benefit from some resting before drinking.Pressed in spring of 2017. Each cake is 200g. The cakes are in bamboo tongs, with five cakes per tong.
