High excitement in the Canton office when this perfectly formed 250g beeng cha arrived. Our exclusive, specially commissioned, traditional stone-pressed puerh cake is from a small artisan farm in Yunnan. The traditional recipe big leaf maocha is from the Big Tree, Arbor varietal. The leaves are Grade 6 and above with some young buds.
Drinking this puerh young, the tea is fragrant with fresh, fruity subtle notes and a sweet persistent aftertaste. It has a good tea taste and a bittersweet finish, which shows that the tea will age well; after 5 years it will still have a young raw, flowery flavour but after 10 years it will open up to develop a softer, more complex and mature profile.
Canton Tea Co is a London-based tea company trading in high grade, whole leaf Chinese tea. We have exclusive access to some of the best jasmine, white, green, oolong, black and authentic puerh teas available. In our first year, we scooped Six Golds at the 2009 Guild of Fine Food Great Taste Awards. Our Jasmine Pearls won the top three star gold award, endorsing it as the best available in the UK.
