2018 Menghai Chazhe Jin Cha (Golden Tea) Ripe Pu Erh 357g
A ripe pu erh tea cake made from a blend of premium tea leaves harvested from only wild tea gardens located at 2000m+ elevation. The dry tea cake is well compressed, easy to pry (loosen up), and shows visible golden buds.
Amazing Taste
It offers a thick, chocolate milk like texture with an incredibly satisfying aroma profile of moss, pine, brown sugar and toast. Such intense and complex flavours can only be experienced with cakes made from high mountain material in combination with excellent blending skills.
