2023 FT 25 Years "#6 Xiao Tai" Aged Raw Pu-erh Tea
This is an FT Production (广东飞台有限公司) of 25 years aged raw Pu-erh tea! Initially pressed as cakes and stored in Menghai for several years before being transported to Guangzhou for further storage. Then in 2023 the cakes were broken up and re-packaged into tins.
24 years of aging has given this tea a full and rich taste woody taste with an underlying sweetness. Nice not quite dry Guangdong storage has given this a silky smooth aged character but without too much dank/mold character. A good choice for those seeking a mature aged tea with Guangdong storage character.
The "#6 Xiao Tai" is the sixth release in the FT "Aged Xiao Tai" series.
100 Grams per tin
February 28th 2023 is the date on the tin and refers to the date of re-packaging. The tea itself was harvested in 1998!
