This is a tea that came to us by way of a friend in Jinghong, where it’s been stored for the last 10 years. The material used for this tea is not simply just any huang pian from Mahei – it was apparently a production of all the huang pian from Mahei’s 2007 spring harvest, purchased and carried into Yiwu town for pressing by a single buyer that year.
The tea maintains a comfortable, sweet flavour and smooth, thick texture, thanks to its time in controlled humid storage. Despite the humid environment, it remains quite clean and free of any overly “wet” or offensive flavours that can sometimes accompany humid stored teas.
