Raw Gushu PuErh from He Kai. Brown bread ice cream and green grapes. The tiniest of front of tongue bitterness leading to juicy jasmine and cantaloupe sweetness.
Cone Bandit is part of our dinosaur editions of PuErh all coming from the same Bulang mountain area of Yunnan and selected out of a tasting of twenty tea samples. It is made from leaves plucked from at least 500 year old tea trees (making it a Gushu PuErh) which have been withered, hand fried, sun dried and compressed into 100g cakes.
This tea has the creamiest character of the three Dinosaur Gushu PuErh’s evoking brown bread ice cream and overipe cantaloupes. A medium to thick body and a dry to juicy finish.
