Overview
Best pick • solid dark choice from Unknown origin

A strong tasting raw puerh with moderate bitterness and smokiness as is typical of Xiaguan. Xiaguan's Tibetan Baoyan is very much their budget brick range with this tea offering a good opportunity to try a nearly 20 year old tea at a reasonable price.
