Type: Raw Pu-erh (unfermented)
Grade: 1-3
Production area: Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province
Taste characteristics:
Many small-scale family-owned tea factories in the early 2000s produced tea cakes wrapped in blank white papers so the buyers would rewrap them with their own branded paper.

Steeped to a golden hue, the tea reveals a smooth, warming dried fruit flavor with a sweet aftertaste. A good-value tea for large group entertaining and for everyday consumption.
