More info

Originally we brought the last box of loose tea leafs from the farmer on the way back from Mangfei and later pressed into the cakes in Kunming ( 60pcs batch only ). Due to the humidity of many summers passing by,the tea leafs obtained bit of wet storage notes which plays along with the sweet and wild characteristics very well. Notes of wild mushrooms and touch of wet wood with lingering sweetness within each cup. Clean storage without any mold. The tea farmer claims the tea is from 2006 but we believe it's around 2009 year , although it does taste very old during some steepings.

Only few grams (3-4 for 110ml) is good enough to achieve sweet and woody taste. This tea prefers smaller amount but longer time of brewing.

If you wish to try a sample , please check here if we still have some loose tea leafs left.
