Overview
Best pick • solid black choice from Unknown origin
Pairing: breakfast pastries, aged cheese, or dark chocolate
A pure spring commissioned production of our Astro Kittens blend, made into shai hong - sun dried black tea. This is a very small and experimental production of only around 5 kilograms. Generally speaking not many people would dare use early spring material of this caliber for black tea when they could easily sell if for high prices as raw Puer. The tea has an intense brothy bitterness and feelings that will overwhelm all but the grizzled veterans among you. This isn't really a tea for beginners. I am not even sure who this is for. Pressed in 2020. Each cake is 200g. The cakes are in bamboo tongs, with five cakes per tong.
