This was one of the cakes offered as part of our Puerh tea club. The idea with this tea club was to offer the best of the puerh we could find that year as part of a subscription package. After shipping all the subscriptions we have a few cakes of certain teas remaining in stock, so have decided to offer them for general sale online.
This tea is from the same garden as our 2015 Huangshanshu puerh tea
This year we asked them to process each of the biggest trees separately and pressed these teas as single tree cakes. Single tree tea offers a purity and refinement that is difficult (if not impossible) to match once different trees have been blended together. The tea is thick, smooth and very elegant in the mouth and throat. The aftertaste is steady and long-lasting. Single tree tea usually isn’t feasible to do on any kind of commercial scale & this was a special production we made for the purposes of the puerh tea club.
