This green puer cake is from the Jing Mai region of Yunnan province . . .
When Lu Yu wrote his famous book about tea 1200 years ago, he mentioned that the best tea bushes had purple tea buds. This type of tea bush was recently discovered in Teng La, a small area within Jing Mai in southern Yunnan province. The soil and climate of this area is perfectly suited to the purple tea bushes, producing a rich, floral aroma unmatched by tea grown in other areas. The aroma and flavor linger in the mouth much longer than with other puer teas. The rich amino acids and antioxidants create a smooth, mild flavor that is easy to drink all day.
This tea has a soft sweetness that continues over many infusions. A great tea for people with sensitive stomachs.
