Sheng Pu Erh Lao Tong Zhi, 9968, Haiwan Factory, A, 2021

Lao Tong Zhi Sheng Pu Erh, recipe 9968, from the renowned Yunnan tea factory Haiwan. Created using the techniques of master tea master Zhou Bing Liang, the tea is crafted under the motto "quality tea at an affordable price."

Large, juicy, fleshy leaves with fuzzy buds are pressed into a neat, dense brick weighing 250 grams. The brick's texture is beautiful and clean, free of debris and dust, allowing you to easily separate the desired amount of leaves for tea.

The aroma of the dry tea is delicate and smoky, with the scent of autumn leaves and a light, damp note. With steeping, the aroma softens, revealing herbaceous, floral, and light citrus and fruity notes.

The infusion is clear, transparent, and shiny, with a golden-green color. The flavor is rich and harmonious, with notes of summer herbs and dried fruits, fresh acidity, and fruity sweetness. A slight tartness of walnut is noticeable. The finish is long, herbaceous and fruity, with a hint of green apple and a slight chill.

This tea gently invigorates, refreshes, improves concentration, and relieves fatigue. Suitable for both everyday tea drinking and a quiet, meditative evening.

Lao Tong Zhi bricks have rich aging potential. With proper storage, the tea's flavor will deepen and refine over time.
