Discover the 2014 Xiaguan 7653 Jinyin 'Golden Seal' raw pu erh tea cake (357g), with over 10 years of slow, natural aging. It showcases small, golden-hued leaves that have matured into a smooth and rewarding flavor profile. Known for its signature Xiaguan character, the tea has shed its youthful bitterness and boldness, revealing a refreshing, floral, rich, and sweet aroma with an incredible Cha Qi.

Perfect for summer, this tea offers a cooling sensation even when brewed hot, making it a relaxing yet invigorating choice. With excellent endurance, the leaves can be steeped many times when brewed traditionally in a gaiwan or small teapot.

Please note that the paper wrapper may show signs of damage, simply due to the age of this tea.

For easy handling, pair this tightly pressed tea cake with our Damascus tea knife.
