Overview
Best pick • solid white choice from Unknown origin
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Our 2020 Old Reliable is an entirely small batch shu Puer version of our classic house blend. It's our best balance of high quality small batch material and affordability. The white2tea house blend and the gateway to understanding our small batch shou skills. A carefully blended and well balanced shu Puer that incorporates material from five different small batches spanning four years. Engaging and complex flavor, aroma and sweetness with a thick presence. An all around crowd-pleaser of a tea with a price tag that defies logic. Drink now or age, you won't find a better quality/value ratio. Each cake is 200 grams of tea, with five cakes per tong.
