This lovely aged ripe tea was a Gold Medal winner at the 2006 International Pu-erh Tea Expo! Pressed in 2006 from Menghai area wet-piled tea leaves and then aged in Kunming until now, this tea has developed into a lovely sweet ripe pu-erh. This tea has plenty of aged taste and complexity, good staying power, long lasting mouth-feel and warming cha qi. An incredible bargain for an aged ripe pu-erh! 357 Grams per cake 2006 Pressing (no date stamp)
