2004 ‘Private Order’ Raw Puerh 340g
This puerh tea cake was ordered by a Malaysia tea lover in 2004. It is composed of old tree leaves, but comes without wrapper, neifei or indication of it’s region of origin. The cake has been stored in Malaysia since 2004 and has been ageing very nicely.
It begins a little thinly, but within a couple of infusions really opens up to become thick and incredibly smooth. The qi of the tea is very strong and a short tea tasting left me very relaxed and reluctant to move!
My experience with this tea seems to vary from session to session. There is the occasional tea session that leaves me feeling that this is merely an above average old tree cake, while the next tea session I’ll totally and unreservedly enjoy and savour this tea. After consideration, my experience seems to tend heavily towards the latter & I’m happy to be able to offer this tea in our selection.
