2009 Xinghai "Bu Lang Qiao Mu" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake

Lovely Bu Lang Mountain area ripe pu-erh tea!  Tippy, thick, and aromatic!

Xinghai tea factory is the 2nd producer of ripe tea in Menghai town (after Menghai tea factory), and has an excellent "wo dui" fermentation process.  This tea was aged in a dry Guangdong storage and has already lost it's "wo dui" (wet pile) taste.

The tea brews up a deep, dark but clear burgundy-brown tea soup.  The taste is sweet with a expansive lubricating taste and feeling in the mouth.  Very warming and velvety!  Both subtle and complex at the same time, a high quality tea leaf was used, each session lasting many infusions.

**Wrapper is bug-bitten and has little holes in it.  There may also be some dust between the wrapper and the cake.  Rinse tea once or twice briefly before drinking!
