An ancient tree pu erh tea with a complex aroma that is predominantly characterised by notes of honey and flowers. The pleasantly faint bitterness transform in a sweet aftertaste that lingers for hours in the mouth. Smell the lid of your teapot, and you'll understand how powerful the aroma truly is.
The texture is super smooth and milky, and with just 6 grams of tea, you'll be able to steep up to 15 infusions of tea in a small teapot or gaiwan.
We recommend this tea to those who also love our ancient Banuo pu erh tea cake.
