Jing Mai Old Tree Ripe Pu Erh Tea Cake

Available from B. Fuller's Mortar & Pestle when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Our Jing Mai Ripe Pu-Erh Cake is made from 100-year-old trees growing wild on the slopes of the famous, protected Jing Mai Mountains. It offers sweet stream and forest aromas and pleasant, mellow flavors with notes of plum and a smooth, sweet finish. Its maocha (loose tea leaves before pressing into the cake) was harvested in 2011, and the cakes were pressed in 2014.
