Yesheng Gushu Hongcha, literally translated as "wild ancient tree red tea", this tea comes from a wild varietal of tea leaf. A gnarly little tea with wild characteristics far outside the norm of what is considered a black tea, best to leave preconceptions at the door. Pungent aromas that drift between fruit and funk over a body of bitter-sweetness. Worth the price of admission as a unique tea experience. Each cake is 200g. Cakes are packaged in tongs of five cakes.
