2024 Yunnan Sourcing "Ku Zhu Shan Hong" Black Tea Cake
We are very excited to offer a sun-dried, wild arbor, pure assamica varietal Black tea! It's harvested from 100+ year old tea trees growing naturally on Ku Zhu Mountain! Ku Zhu Mountain is near Wenshan village about 7 kilometers southeast of Jing Gu town in Pu'er prefecture (previously known as Simao).
Sweet, floral, fruity with almost juice-like viscous tea soup and lots of body. Very infusable tea that gives evenly across 7 to 8 rounds, and then gives way to a bit thinner and sweet from round 8 onward. A good choice for near term aging. Will improve in flavor for many years to come!
A premium wild arbor black tea with excellent aging possibilities!
250 grams per cake, 7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong
April 2024 Harvest (only 140 kilograms produced)
