Compressed tea cake from a family garden in Zhong He mountain. Old to ancient tea tree leaves 80-100 years old (gu shu 古樹) that grow in altitude of 2,070m high. A very rich tea at its peak of maturity, with complex earth and dried fruit notes and light smoky aroma. Dark orange liquor that turns brandy-red.
This one of its kind blend is an artist's masterpiece, the result of 8 years creation. Mr. Wong collected batches from different batches between 2006-2010 only to compressed the leaves by himself in 2013 into a hardly seen 400g cake, to ensure longer than average aging.
Recommended for drinking in the first part of the day, from autumn to spring. Its benefits move on the axis between raw and ripe pu'er, between yin and yang.
Prestigious vintage tea at a league of tis own, which will continue to gain value and character from season to season (see storage instructions).
Very last tong available.
