Description

People line up around the block to get new releases of the best Dayi teas and this one is no exception. I was able to purchase a case of these the day it was released. By the end of that week, the price had nearly tripled because of the demand for this fine tea.

Already a classic, this 2008 tea is made with smaller leaves and again, as with all smaller leaf cakes, you do not want to miss out on the complex early flavors by steeping too long in the beginning.

One of the highest grade teas from Menghai in 2008, pick up several! Some for drinking now, some for friends and family and a few for home aging. You will not be disappointed!
