These ripe pu erh balls offers a creamy indulgence and bright minerality. They steep a deliciously sweet infusion, as if you're having liquid sweet milk bread. The aroma is complex with hints of malt, butterscotch, ripe fruits, woody spices, and minerals. After 4-5 steeps you're going to sweat and feel this relaxing body sensation. All in all, a great to enjoy yourself and cultivate a calm state of mind.
