When brewed, this tea shares a lightly sweet aroma. The color of the liquid resembles fresh apricots and is very clear and clean; there is no murkiness or dust. This tea's mao cha comes from the Lin Cang tea area in west Yunnan. The mao cha from this area is very robust, giving a very strong personality to the finished puer. The flavor covers your whole mouth and creates a long finish. After a few cups, you can easily find a smooth lightly sweet flavor on the back of your tongue and throat.

This tea is infused with local Yunnan herbs called Nuo Mi Xiang Nen Ye which means "Sweet Rice Tender Leaves." The herb resembles mint with small, fingernail-sized leaves. People of the Dai Minority, who live in Southern Yunnan close to the rainforest, use this herb a lot to cool down during hot, humid days.

Our Small Ma Guo Tou Green Cake has Lin Cang's rich, robust flavor and a long finish. It also has a high, complex aroma that fills your mouth and nose, which is characteristic of Jing Gu puer. These characteristics are immediately apparent on the first sip. When infused, the relaxed leaves are tender but thick, resembling live leaves still on the bush.
