This special, supreme quality aged Puerh brews to a deep golden red and has a rich, full, woodsy flavor which is hearty without ever being over-powering, it produces a pleasant, mellow after-taste. The flavor of this dark amber tea begins with the bright earthiness unique to aged puerhs, then smooths out into a long, mellow finish. Puerh is considered best by most connoisseurs when it has been properly aged. The aging process often take many years. However, the tea can be prepared and enjoyed at any time during that process. This exceptional Puerh is a fine example of the remarkably smooth, balanced flavor that un-equaled by any lesser Puerhs.
