This is our favorite Tea Urchin pressing from the first batch of early Spring 2012 maocha. This Gao Shan Zhai 高山寨 puerh cake is pressed from un-pruned 300 year old trees and has amazing chaqi that is almost euphoric. It also has great endurance, lasting for 15+ infusions. The wet leaves give off a sweet, light, floral fragrance, the liquor is a clear bright yellow. Look out for the ethereal huigan that rises into the nasal cavity. Completely hand processed according to traditional methods and stone pressed in Yiwu. Only 42 cakes made. Buy together with our 2011 Autumn Gao Shan Zhai for a vertical tasting.
