Overview
Recommended for: connoisseurs who savor complex, herbaceous black teas with pine and mush…
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Sun dried assamica (large leaf varietal) from Yunnan that is usually destined for raw Puer production. Our 2024 Ditch Pike has an herbaceous bent with a minty quality that skips between pine sap sweetness and a mushroom broth. Complex and engaging throughout. Pressed in 2024. Each cake is 200g. The cakes are in bamboo tongs, with five cakes per tong.
