This little ripe pu erh tea cake (100g) is made from small leaves and golden buds from the Menghai tea region, offering a relatively light and subtle taste. The initial nutty, woody, and floral notes gracefully evolve into a sweet aftertaste reminiscent of dried fruits and herbal candy. It's the striking contrast between the opening taste and aftertaste that makes this ripe pu erh tea spectacular.

Who should buy this ripe pu erh tea?

Ideal for those who prefer a more understated ripe pu erh without the pronounced earthy notes, this tea cake is also perfect for anyone put off by the 'fishy' aroma often associated with ripe pu erh. Furthermore, if you usually enjoy black tea and are curious about ripe pu erh, this cake offers an excellent introduction to start your journey.
