This is a multi year blend. The past few years we've had extra material left over. We've been aging it loose. We pressed what we had into these cakes. This material is from their small arbor trees that is called Xiao Qiao Mu (that just means small arbor tree). We call it KXQM for short. We have sourced this material every year since our first and it is so good! The tea is full bodied and creamy with minimal bitterness or astringency. It is very floral with potent orchid notes. There is a finishing sweetness like cotton candy. This tea always hits the spot!
