An exquisite fruity pu erh tea with refined undertones of autumn forest and white truffle. Unlike typical ripe pu erh tea that is dark, strong, and overwhelmingly earthy, it features a more elegant flavor profile and a sweeter taste that makes one salivate.

The tea cake consist of whole tea leaves picked from wild trees of the Menghai tea region of Yunnan. The leaves have undergone the processing steps of withering, heating, rolling, drying, followed by post fermentation. At last, they're medium tightly compression into round cakes, allowing for optimal aging and effortless preparation.
