2006 Changtai Tian Xia Tong An "Gold Edition" Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake

This is a 2006 Changtai brand pressing for a Hong Kong teahouse called "Tong An Cha Hang".  A portion of the tea was apportioned to a Guangzhou tea seller to sell in the mainland.

This 400 gram Gold Letter Edition is made from full leaf wild arbor material, and is a bit different from it's 357 gram counterpart (offered here).

Our offering was aged in Guangzhou in a traditional (wettish) storage condition.  The Bu Lang Mountain material is textured and complex and even after almost 15 years of aging it comes through with a strong camphor and aged taste with a strong cha qi.  

This tea was stored in a dry Guangdong storage condition until September 2019, when it was moved to Kunming.  As this tea dries out a bit in Kunming (or wherever it ends up) it will develop a nice rounded aged taste lacking in wet storage taste but also tasting complex and aged.

400 grams per cake

Some wrappers are printed as if like a mirror image, some are normal.

** 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!
