Vendor Notes
This distinctive Purple Raw Pu-erh from Bang Dong reveals a complex profile with prominent fruity undertones and a pleasant sweetness. While a subtle bitterness is present, it is notably less pronounced than typical raw Pu-erh from the region, offering a smoother, more unique character stemming from its naturally occurring purple-leaf mutation.
