Pu-erh Tea

2018 Yunnan Sourcing "Year of the Dog Blue Label" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake

This Year of the Dog "Blue Label" ripe tea is a blend of ripe pu-erh teas from 2013 and 2015.  Being a blend of semi-aged teas, it's almost completely lacking any wet pile taste and is very much ready to drink!   Smooth, sweet, woody, with some dried plum or cherry character!  There is also a spearmint-like cooling quality in the early steeps!  The tea soup is clear and burgundy, with a viscous lubricating quality.
