Description:

Produced in the mid-late 1980's, these cakes were stored for the first 10-15 years of their life in Hong Kong in traditional, fairly humid storage. They were then bought by a tea merchant in Malaysia and have been stored there since. Their time in Hong Kong has allowed the tightly pressed cakes to age well, with their subsequent storage and ageing in Malaysia allowing the tea to become more refined and much of the traditional storage flavour to dissipate.

The end result is a very pleasant, thick, rich and fully aged puerh tea, with good qi. This a perfect tea for fans of traditional storage done properly.

Quotes - Pu-erh


„Mr. Gao showed us how to identify gu shu (ancient tree) tea leaves by looking at their texture, rubbing them between your fingers, and eating them raw. Old tea trees produce thicker, more leathery leaves that don’t easily come apart when you rub them. And gu shu buds should be white & shiny. When you chew them, the flavor is very bitter but there is also a strong sweet fragrance, and the juice is relatively easy to swallow. Tai di cha (terrace plantation tea) is also bitter but with a strong, lasting astringency on the sides & front of the tongue, and the juice is harder to swallow.“

Quotes

„tai di; 台地 - Literally mesa or plateau.台地茶 tai di cha refers to tea bushes that have been planted and are still young. They are also the broad leaf varietal and have generally been grown from the seeds of old trees. They are not inherently bad, but the use of chemicals in their cultivation is pervasive.“
