This is the first "Bao He Xiang" ripe pu-erh tea cake released!  Produced from tippy grade Menghai area ripe tea blended from three different wet pile batches gives this tea a unique character, strong aroma, complex taste, and high infusibility.

Li Wen Hua is a long time Pu-erh veteran, he's been producing pu-erh for Xinghai Tea Factory (1996-2004) and then later worked for the Menghai Tea Factory as a master tea blender from 2004 to 2008.  Several Da Yi brand ripe and raw blends can be credited to Li Wen Hua. In 2011 Li Wen Hua founded the Bao He Xiang 宝和 Brand of Pu-erh Tea with a distinct focus on creating high quality blended ripe and raw pu-erhs as well as single mountain blends as well.  Bao He Xiang is a relatively small brand with productions ranging from 250 kilograms to 2000 kilograms in total.

** Some wrappers may be bug-bitten with little holes in the paper. There may also be some dust between the wrapper and the cake. Rinse tea once or twice briefly before drinking! If you are squeamish please don't order this tea!

Satisfyingly Smooth

"This tea is satisfyingly smooth while having a nice drying effect that lingers. I find no stand out flavors but still a calming experience. I get at least 6 steeps."

Gary T. (4/5)

Wow!

"This tea definitely surprised me in just how smooth and well balanced it is. Nice subtle earthy aroma is followed by a wonderful tasting tea that soothes the palet. This is a very subtle tea since it does not try to overpower you with flavor. But that wonderful full body balanced flavor that really hangs on to deliver many renderings. I am definitely impressed with this tea. the cake is somewhat more tightly compressed than other ripe teas. It still breaks nicely. It brews up quickly and the flavor never peaks too strong. Just a delightful find."
