Tiger Hunter | Raw (Sheng) Puer Tea Cake

Description

This lot of tea is almost gone and is available online only. We’re hoping to source a new lot in the future, but there is no guarantee.

357 gram cake

When properly tamed, this lush and formidable tea has a graceful charm. Aromatics of fermented fruit and juniper show up in each cup and the mouthfeel lurks long afterwards. Stronger steeps unleash more of its power, if you choose.

Harvested and produced on March 15, 2015 and pressed on May 20, 2015 by Mr. Ye Sheng in Xiao Hu Sai Village, Lincang City, Yunnan, China. It’s a one bud, two leaf pick of the Yunnan Big Leaf cultivar growing at approximately 5,900 feet.
