Semi aged sheng pu-erh few years stored in Shuang Jiang farmer's place ( Dai family storage ).

The spring tea material from young arbor trees growing not far from the Xi Gui village where fresh "mao cha" was also processed and later pressed in Lincang.

It gives overall bitter-sweet mouthfeel, not just in parts of the tongue ( like under, front, back etc. ) and slides into the noticeable "hui gan" after. After few steepings sweet sensation is...
