2004 Yunnan Import and Export Corporation 8582 Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake

Like a fresh rainforest

The tea absolutely smells like a freshly mown lawn, or a rainforest on a sunny day. This is my favorite tea to wake up to.

Great Tea

Received a sample on my first order. Ordered a cake the next day. Once in a while I find a tea that just slips down the throat effortlessly. You can’t stop drinking it. Feels like the ph balance is perfectly in synch with my mouth. Hard to explain, but whatever it is, this tea has it. The soup is remarkably clear, with the usual wet wood and stones plus old books in an antique shop. Not a powerhouse in terms of flavour or chi but a very, very enjoyable drink. Expect a white frosting on the cake and a strong damp smell. Double rinse with boiling water and you’re good to go.
