People who have been searching for delicious and valuable aged raw pu-erh tea will immediately notice this cake we are carrying. This green tree logo has been a symbol for one of the finest quality raw Pu-erh teas one can find, and we are honored to deliver it to you with this awesome vintage that has been stored in Taiwan for years.

How shall we write about its character? We feel the original description on its wrapper already did an excellent job, so we will just translate it directly from the Han characters:

 Ultra smooth but totally robust Menghai character.  Notes of vanilla and beet sweetness present.  Touch of bitter and astringent.  Cha Qi is strong and noticeable but not in your face.  Ultra clean Taiwan storage with no mustiness at all.  Very tasty tea that easily takes 10+ steeps!
