Produced in 2004 by Changtai Tea Group and stored in Hong Kong since, this Sheng style Pu er tea represents high standards in aging techniques.

Among collectors, Changtai is a well-known name. Their teas are reputed for the quality of their material as well as their aging potential. Kept in traditional storage for over 15 years, this one is no exception. Deep aromas of root vegetables, earthy fragrances and resinous scents, it gives the impression of gardening under the sun. As with most aged teas, it can also be steeped many times.
