With a standard 357 g cake, it offers a harmonious balance of mellow character, stable flavor, and excellent value, making it perfect for daily enjoyment, entertaining guests, gifting, or beginning a Pu'er collection.

Liquor: Bright, translucent deep amber-red, thick and lustrous, with a clear, clean liquor free of impurities and turbidity. Taste: This tea offers a luxuriously mellow, velvety-smooth liquor, with a rich aged aroma and layers of wild sweetness and malty notes fully expressed in its full-bodied brew.
