CHARACTER

Lao cha consists of leaves selected from the center and bottom of the fermenting leaf pile, compressed into small clumps by weight and heat. It’s a variant with the same character as the tea cake but in more compact, fully fermented little clusters. The tea has a sweet, oily taste, alongside a strong earthy aroma. You can have a real old tea experience when you taste this one. Chen Xiang (陈香) translates to “aged fragrance” is a term commonly used to describe the flavor and aroma that develops in well-aged Pu-erh tea. It represents the matured, deep, and smooth profile that emerges after years or even decades of proper storage.

This tea has a mellow, rounded,  smooth, thick, and well-balanced liquor. The warm character, welcoming noble drink is sweet in aftertaste and makes oily, pleasant layer in our mouth.
