2023 Yiwu Xiao Gaogan Sheng / Raw Puerh Tea - 200g CakeHooo boy, this tea! Yiwu is just an amazing place with really incredible teas. These are unusually dark leaves. There is a noticeable mintiness in the dry leaf. As you dive into this tea you're welcomed with clear minty notes with a menthol vibe. Background aromas of pine resin and a floral cotton candy add to the complexity. There is a lot of flavor but it's gentle. It has a great body and plenty of returning throat sweetness!
