Xiaguan Te Ji Raw Pu Erh Tuocha Tea

A finely aged raw puerh

One of the best aged teas I've had, very well rounded flavor, deep, and funky with a pleasant and lingering aftertaste. The tea is pressed quite tightly, so breaking off pieces is difficult to do without breaking the leaves more than I would like, however, even the very broken up leaves steep very nicely and do not get bitter - a testament to the quality of this tea. After 19 years of aging, the wrapping paper is quite fragile and I tore it multiple times trying to wrap the teacake back up (luckily, I had some paper lying around from other teacakes that I had finished before and used that), handle with care!!!

The tea is very good quality. The taste is smoky, gradually turning into sour berry tea. I recommend it.

Very good
