Entirely first flush of spring 2012 material from Bu Lang Mountain area (Ban Pen) old tea trees! Thick aroma and bitter taste that transforms quickly into smooth and sweet after-taste. Cha Qi is fairly aggressive at first but will level out in later infusions. Definitely a tea to be appreciated by strong stomached drinkers of young sheng! Stone-Pressed by hand! 84 cakes produced! 400 grams per cake
