2018 Raw Xiao Hu Sai Pu Erh Tea Balls
SKU
XIAO-HU-SAI-QIU
A raw pu erh tea from the famed Xiao Hu Sai village with a dynamic and complex aroma. It starts with a powerful, but short-lived bitterness, quickly followed by an explosion of floral fragrance. The finish is sweet with hints of manuka honey. The contrast between the bitterness and the sweet finish is like heaven and earth, making this tea truly special.
Xiao Hu Sai
While Bingdao is the most popular village in Mengku, the area surrounding the Xiao Hu Sai village has the most ancient tea forests. With an average annual temperature of 20ºC and 1750mm precipitation, the Xiao Hu Sai community enjoys ideal conditions for tea cultivation.
The village only has around 420 inhabitants, of which nearly the whole working population is engaged in the tea industry.
