This is a high quality cake made with material from ancient trees in Lincang. The beautiful whole leaves are “picked” off the cake very easily. Gold colored liquor with a pleasant aroma. The taste is smooth and sweet and full in the mouth; balanced with pleasant bitterness in later infusions making the cup more complex. Decent longevity – I’ve taken if for 8 rounds. This is a very solid production for which the price has risen steadily over the past two years. At this point, it might have risen a bit too high.

I have one of these in my pumidor. It is really good. Thought about buying another.
I can understand that. Lots of very fine teas out there – 2013 and 2014 productions are quite fine. In the 2013 selections, I think I might prefer the Nan Po Zhai and San Ke Shu over this one. In truth, in spite of my $ comment, they are all decent value since they are high quality material and 400g rather than the now frequent 200g or 250g cakes.
