Overview
Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses
Juicy sweet and pleasantly fragrant, this tea delivers classic Yiwu character at both a high quality level and accessible price. The use of mixed picking (mostly old tree with some arbour) material from Yiwu Laojie (old town) supports a thick body and lasting aroma. This tea serves as an excellent bridge between budget offerings from the region and the more prohibitively expensive special occasion teas. Both experienced drinkers and those newer to puer will find this equally enjoyable as either a daily drinker or one for cracking open down the road. $0.25/gram Region: Yiwu, Xishuangbanna Prefecture Picking Period: March 24-28, 2025
