This month Pu Erh focuses again on the "old Style", which is specifically produced for the purpose of long storage. It is produced in Xiaguan Tea Factory in 2005, under "Bao Yan" brand. Because of its excellent critiria in quality: strong tannin character and power, obvious dryness and persuasiveness, it is one of the most popular Pu Erh that is aquired by the Pu Erh lovers/collectors. Baoyan Label is generally produced for the Tibetian as Jin Cha. Usually in the form of a mushroom, but also as brick, like the one we present in this month newsletter. This would be then transported in the linen transportsack. This Pu Erh offers a strong tannin structure - an excellent qualitfication for the development of a complex aroma profile in the futuer. However, it has already become a beautiful tea within JUST 12 years of age. And its climax is yet to come.
