Natural storage on the East Coast of Taiwan near the ocean. We’ve had this cake for a few months here state-side and we’ve let it air out a bit.

“Old Arbor” means that the leaves used in this production come from older plants in the Yiwu growing area. This means the roots are more established and deliver more character to the leaves (soil content, etc…).
Sourced from the original owner whose been buying pu-erh in Yunnan for more than 30 years to be stored in Taiwan. He says this is an 1990. Wrappers are nice, leaf is good quality and of course, it steeps out a good long time.
