Description

This is a lovely ripe pu-erh tea tuo that was produced without a wrapper for export to Taiwan in 2003. Supposedly it was produced by Xiaguan Tea Factory but was never exported. Regardless of who actually produced this tea, it’s a lovely aged camphor and cream ripe pu-erh. It does really taste somewhat like an aged Xiaguan Xiao Fa tuo. Very smooth and sweet, no mustiness and no wet pile taste at all. There is a caramel and wisp of smoke sweetness along with a 樟香 camphor/incense character that is never overpowering. Very clean taste, aroma, and qi!

Comes wrapped in white paper.
