Vendor Notes
This raw Pu-erh delivers a profound experience, beginning with an upfront sweetness that gradually yields to a strong, lingering bitterness akin to the famed Lao Man E. It offers a juicy, thick liquor that intensely builds in the mouth and throat, culminating in a deep, satisfying huigan. Despite its power, a low astringency maintains a smooth character throughout the long session.
