The tender buds, resilient leaves of this raw puer was harvested in the spring.
Dry Leaf Aroma: Delicate trace of an old fashioned perfume and tobacco.
Wet Leaf Aroma: Toffee – like sweetness with hints of roasted grain.
Body: An abundance of orchids and other exotic florals greet the taste buds. The strong smoked camphor character offers a bracing balance to the heady floral notes and turns into cooling mint and citrus. Warm, buttery caramel notes awaken at the bottom of the cup. Brisk and lively with a wild musky side that is reminiscent of a vintage cologne.
Finish: Intensely cool and spicy with cleansing anise notes.
Qi: Strong and euphoric for some
