This item is a limited release from the Xia Guan Tea Factory. It was compressed in 2011 with 2005 high end raw puerh tea leaves. Only a few thousands cases were made and they all were bought by a Guang Zhou pu erh tea seller. The recipe used for this pu erh beeng cha is very similar to the Jin Se Yin Xiang from the Meng Hai Tea Factory but with that flowery character that define Xia Guan Tea Factory. The beeng cha exhibits high quality tea leaves and a nice clean surface. Very good level of compression, which will allow the tea to age well. The first infusion releases a clean brew, in the cup and in the mouth which show that the material was stored properly while waiting for its processing. A rare and beautiful pu erh tea that is a must have in any pu erh tea collector’s inventory.
