Description

A lovely ripe tea made from Lincang and Menghai Spring 2016 harvested tea! Their old fermentation master Dong Guo Hong came out of retirement to oversee this incredibly special “wo dui” fermentation process.

The result is a powerful ripe tea that reminds us that ripe pu-erh can be made from high quality tea leaves. Tea leaves that could have just as easily been processed into a very drinkable raw pu-erh cake! Thick and pungent taste, thick tea soup, and strong camphor aroma this tea will go ten rounds easily without getting boring. Further aging will surely make this a sought after ripe pu-erh!
