This is a rich and complex pu-erh tea. It has a very goo potential for keeping/aging amongst the aged green Pu-erh teas. 8582 is a coding which means that the majority of the cake is composed of larger leaves. In some tea drinkers' experience, they found this tea to be too smooth and mild, and the tea ages very quickly, hence is better for drinking right away. In fact, the tea we have has been kept in dry storage, therefore, it actually tastes powerful and deep, and the energy (chi) is still rising for many years to come. The leave is larger and strong in light brown colour. The tea liquor is bright and viscous. This tea has been kept for over 20 years, it tastes intense and full-bodied, with a little raw-ness. The aroma is very rich and powerful. Starting from the second infusion, you may find saliva coming from both sides of the mouth and a strong feeling of olive-like "Hui Gan" lingering in the mouth and throat for a long time.
