Description

深谷幽兰 “Shen Gu You Lan” is the name given to Legend of Puer’s signature cakes from the Da Xue Shan 大雪山 and Bingdao 冰岛 regions. This tea was produced in early Spring, 2012, from 500-600 year old trees growing in a single grove above 1,900m on Dongbanshan 东半山. The trees were picked on March 16th and again on the 27th, adding complexity and sweetness. This is an exceptional tea, packing plenty of chaqi and an intense huigan. We think it’s hands down Legend of Puer’s best cake ever.
