Vietnam Pu er 1980's no 111

Product code: CSTVI-253

This is a small, precious batch of leaves picked and processed in Vietnam over 40 years ago, and aged in China with traditional Chinese Pu er storage techniques. The gentle ageing process gives us access to a rare product sought after by the world's greatest connoisseurs.

The long infused leaves give off refined aromas of earth and smoke. The rapid attack of the liquor fills the mouth with mineral flavours and a delicate taste of tanned leather, giving way to a camphor effect often found in this family of teas.
