An incredibly fantastic raw Pu-erh made from Wild Pu-erh tree leaves that have a dark purple color. This 野生茶 (Wild Tea) is naturally dark in color, and is heavy in anti-oxidants and catechins.

This tea brick is composed of entirely spring 2012 raw material and while it is very similar to our 2005-2011 500 gram bricks, it’s not exactly the same.
