“Nope. Nopenopenope. There are interesting flavors in here. Unfortunately, they’re hidden behind the taste of hamster bedding and ashes. I gave it 2 rinses and 4 steepings to mellow out before...” Read full tasting note

Description

This tea is Xingyang’s crowning achievement. It is made with big leaf picked from thousand year old trees. The loose leaf is stored and slowly fermented in low moisture over one year and finished in 2003 for another eleven years of dry fermentation before being packed in 2014. The result is the sweetest, cleanest and deepest shu pu’er we have tried. This tea can be steeped over twenty times and yields a beautiful clear brew with a deep forest flavor and lingering aftertaste.
