2023 Yunnan Sourcing "Ba Da Guardian" Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake

Ba Da Guardian

I really love this tea; at first I found it kind of middling - good, not great - but it's really grown on me and think it's more nuanced and flavorful than was obvious at first-taste. I get the tobacco and pine flavors mentioned in the description, but also a distinct gingery, brown sugar-ish flavor. Really mouthwatering and produces a slight tingle in the mouth. I'm halfway through my second cake and plan to order more in the future.
