one cake - 357g £ 43.90

A really nice ripe Pu erh tea cake ready for drinking now.

The tea leaves are from 50 to 60 year old trees grown in the mountainous wild forests of Menghai and surrounding areas. The tea trees grow alongside other wild plants in a natural environment, free from pesticides and fertilisers and the sub tropical temperatures and fertile soil produce a tea of exceptional quality.

The tea leaves (jade coloured leaf from a golden branch) are hand picked, sun dried, pan fried, fermented, steamed and then pressed in stone moulds in the traditional way.

The resulting Pu erh tea is fresh and smooth with a sweet aftertaste and a lingering charm.

This is a most highly prized, sought after, difficult to purchase, very pure and rare Pu erh of limited availability.
