Tea: Pu-erh Cha Wang (2004)
Type: Pu-Erh Tea
Packaging: Loose Leaf
Company: Golden Moon Tea Company
Purchase: Tea Insider Club
Description: Using fluffy golden tea tips, Pu-erh Cha Wang has a depth of flavor normally found in the highest Yunnan teas. Whereas most pu-erh's use a combination of machine processed teas from multiple farms, Pu-Erh Cha Wang uses only the finest hand plucked teas from a single estate tea farm. The result is a tea that is smooth, with a woody flavor that has hints of cirtus in the finish.
