Overview
Best pick • solid dark choice from China
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
This is the richest, most full bodied and complex ripe puer we have in the shop. Flavor is earthy and rich. After nearly 20 years now of aging its developed an herbal note almost like ginseng, and a chocolatey broth. Finish is dry and clean, and mouthfeel is full and solid.
