Description
This sheng pu erh tea cake is from Bitter Bamboo Mountain in Yunnan Province, China. It was harvested in 2014 at an altitude of over 1,600 metres, from tea plants that are over a hundred years old, enhancing its already rich aromatic profile.
This Grand Cru reveals fruity apricot, exotic fruit and mirabelle plum notes that develop mineral hints.
In homage to the bamboo trees that grow in this region, each 200 g cake is wrapped in paper featuring a panda.
