Description

The flagship of our collection, this raw Puer is best described as sweet, floral, fragrant and complex. Made solely from spring ancient tree material that has aged slightly in two years, its flavour profile has already started to develop.

This tea brews consistently well, even producing good results from accidental over-steeps. The Huigan is gentle in its approach an long lasting, accompanied by a salivating sensation. As with all of our teas, this was chosen because it is great to drink now, but also shows excellent potential for storage of any duration.
