2001 Zhongcha - Ba Zhong

$43.00

This 2001 CNNP cake is colloquially known to pu'er collectors as "Ba Zhong" because it has eight "中“ characters around the central, green "茶" character. Aged in Taiwan and acquired by Tea Urchin in 2014. It has an aroma of camphor and fermented fruit. A manly tea, with a touch of smoke and some bitterness, suggesting Bulang leaves in the source material. Thick mouthfeel, even a little silt-grain at the finish.

Steeping instructions

We recommend 7g of tea leaves in a 100ml brewing vessel. As hygiene was not a high priority when producing puer in 1998, rinse the leaves twice with boiling water before drinking. This tea can re-infused at least 10 times.
