1995 “Green Pu-erh”

Description

1995 "Green Pu-erh" — A Traditional Fermented Tea 

This tea comes from Yunnan, the birthplace of tea. This particular tea batch, fermenting since 1995, has a surprising smoky taste reminiscent of BBQ sauce, of all things! Despite its smoky undertones, this tea brews lightly golden with a clean finish. It was a happy accident discovery on the part of the Tea Tavern that we are delighted to have found and share.
