2002 Jinggu Aged Ripe Pu-erh Tea Mini Tuo

The tea was earthy and dark, with a unique richness.

everything an aged tea should be

I was surprised to find these tea shipped with the leaves pressed into lozenges, rather than a cake. However, this is everything an aged tea should be, with a mellow but pleasing aroma and taste. It's currently my favorite.

Great value daily drinker

Aroma of dry leaf is strong after resting in open air (~ 32C and 75RH over here lately :/ ) for a week. Rich and warming brew that is not bitter. The low infusion count and price makes it particularly suited as a no-fuss daily drinker - I put in an empty teabag, 2 brews.
