2011 HK Dry Storage Xiaguan Ancient Wild Tree Raw PuErh

Description

I bought three of these tuos in November 2016, and have been aging them (with the lids off) since they arrived. This tea has aged beautifully! There is just a whisper of residual smoke from the dry tuos, but this doesn't carry over into the liquor. After two rinses, I get the sweet aroma that Xiaguan smoke ages down to in the liquor, along with intense mouth cooling. The liquor is bitter, considering the two years of HK dry storage, but quite pleasantly so. The huigan and cha qi from this tea are both intense and very nice indeed. This tea is smooth and clean, and meets Chinese organic standards, since it is harvested from wild trees along the banks of the Lancang (also known as the Mekong) river.

This tea has a very pleasant wild, fruit-like taste that you can't fake with plantation material, and I'm definitely keeping the tuo I sampled for my own drinking. This is my new favorite Xiaguan raw! There are also the start of aged plummy notes in the liquor. I should probably keep these for my own consumption. They're that good!

I only have two tuos up for grabs, so if you'd like one, please purchase it ASAP!
